Love is Red

I'll drink whiskey from the bottle

I'll drink sherry or moonshine

But my love is like a rare, red wine:

A sacrament,

Exquisite,

Hard to find

The gladiolas in slow motion

Scar of tulips in the snow

But my love is like a red, red rose:

Coveted,

Expensive,

Hard to grow

Is she screaming bloody murder?

Is she thrown across the bed?

My love is red as any crime scene

From the curtains to the carpet, man

If you know what i mean

There is no other color scheme

My love is red as red as red can be

There are fireworks over the skyline

Fire engine down the street

But my love is red as sunset on the sea

My love is red

Too vivid

To be believed

My love is red
