Array ( [sid] => 3486 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Scarlet [time] => 2002-09-07 06:41:38 [hometext] => Scarlet- the color of anger, hatred, rage and bitterness. [bodytext] =>
Red, red, red

Is all I see

You have left

Your mark on me

What is it

That turns you

Do you enjoy

Misery?

Scornful and bitter

You will always be

Without any remorse

You inflict pain so casually

Your pessimistic ways

Will be your end of days

Wake up from the storm

That is raging in your heart

I care so much for you

But that is all that I can do

For you

You push everyone away

You don’t know love

Hatred burns inside of you

Can you recall

Any bliss

Your life is so cumbersome

You walk through it numb

You miss so much

Because you do not reach out and touch

The everlasting beauty

Life has to offer so much

It’s a treasure really

Full of pleasure

I cannot deny

There were times I had

The pain and displeasure

Of life’s tortures

But I woke up

And now I see

In all clarity

That life is a gift

Not a hoax

So, this is my wish

From me to you

To embrace life head on

To be courageous and strong

To know fulfillment

And not resentment

To feel love soaking your being

And to give it freely

Not push aside others

That come with open arms

I pray that one day you will

Rise above

I have seen into your soul

There is still hope

Your eyes reflect life

Of love and tenderness

That was the hold

You had on me

But I could not be

Your outlet for pain anymore

You never opened the door

To your heart

Begging for a new start

After the scarlet colors fade

You'll wake from your facade [comments] => 4 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Jekisa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

isn't it disheartening how we can have one, maybe even more, in our life that has to make us so angry and at the same time so infatuated? I have had more then my share of ppl in my life that match this description..not all were lovers..they took on many forms...friends,family, acquaintances...it's just sad really

I could not rave enough about this poem. I know quite a few poeple like this, who just don't understand how to reach out and grasp life before letting it slip through their hands!

Poetic Dreams Always,

it can be frustrating sometimes when no matter how we try to help they continue to shut us out. This was such a good write.
