Roses Are Red, Violets Are Farcical

Roses are red, ever redder when enraged.
Violets are blue, farcical as a cartoon page.

Those roses spread upon you’re aloneness bed,
and violets, the vigil of black and blue knees.

The redness of hair stripped of pretty petals.
A blue countenance that settles in the heart.

An infant-like scream turning crimson as the sun,
and inkblot blue with padded walls, facing no one.

Roses are red, violets are blue...you walk into walls
Like a wounded bouquet. Yet life calls...life calls.

He hands you tulips instead of death. You rejoice in his gift.
This one does not deceive. He loves you, not loves you not.
