Colour Study - Red

Red is always
anger
but it doesn't have to be.

If we put all our anger into the
colour
should it not make us feel better?

frustration boils over making our heads
hot
like fire: the colour red comes up again.

Fire is not
red
but a mix of light and heat

flushed cheeks of
embarrassment
are red with regret and shyness

red noses are a sign of
pain
from too many tissues

red is not a just a
colour
but a feeling of mixed sorts

It stands out like a
punch
or a lipstick kiss

its always there jumping
out
at us like a claw


grabbing you and
twisting
your emotions.
