What does red mean?

Is it the fiery boil of anger saved for someone special?

Is it the deep and dreadful scarlet of blood along the floor?

Is it the candy apple of poison deep inside a heart?

Is it the ruby shade of power that consumes the brain in hold?

Is it the bright and lightning fire of danger in its path?

And all the dread that it represents.

Is it the cardinal of morning and hope that will be found?

Is it the maroon of love and loyalty that leads into a romance?

It is the cinammon of home and joyous sounds of laughter?

Is it the brick of a strong hold that will keep on centred?

Is it the mahogany of secrets and long awaited adventure?

But it can be all these things too.
