Red Passion
clenching this dream
as I stagger towards
the maze of your heart
and silence grow pregnant
where I long for your love
to turn my evanescent soul
and sculpture my heart
a dream within a dream
as our memories fade
where passion is the fire
♥
my silent heart within
as I write

Lovely Amanda! Definitely one of my favorites by you.
Loved this line the most:
“where passion is the fire”
December 16, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Suppressed passion is volcanic.. or so I believe…
And yours sure bursts forth in the form of words on my screen..
You did justice to your color, lady, with a very fine write here…
LOVE YOU!!!! xxxxxxx

Again, thematically perfect for the pic!
If this were given and meant for me, I’d melt.
Happy Holidays! Peace, UT
