My Red Melancholy
Under the bright lights
And pristine haze
I look away
As sick secrets sinuously sleep
Underneath a surface that is
Poised and pretty and sweet
My raven hair scented
With traumatic experiences
Buried alive . . . refusing to die
My crimson lips
Whisper
Of a quiet desperation
My eyes refusing to shed
The tears of . . .

This probably isn’t going to make sense, but this representation reminds me of a character that you might see Bev Doolittle paint….almost a camouflage of white on white. The red makes the eye bounce.

You are amazing Jaeda. You look like a porcelain doll. The extreme whites and jump-out colour, makes for a classy, sexy, original image.
