blood. I hate the color it has. such a strange part of us. it's only a natural element of our being. Roses represent an love and romance. I do not believe in the hatred of our world. love is for us, a beacon of hope. Death is scary. Why must blood be red? Why must the rose be red? pain. Red is the color of love and agony. Love is warm. Pain is cold. Blood is red symbol of despair. A rose, a gift of love. a true gentleman carries a rose for his love "though it rots it will not die" I look into the mirror blood covers the thorns on a rose. Love is freedom from the chains of torment. nothing hurts more than pains of heartbreak. feel these from a bleeding heart. sorrow or enduring the torture of loneliness. I dealt with little of this. I knew the truth in love. Lies are only the thorns of a rose. See beauty in myself. I hate looking at the ****** rose.
read from the top, down then from the bottom line up. This is my first try at a reversible poem, and I liked how it turned out. Personally, I've always wondered why both love and evil are represented by the color red.
