crimson soul

Orange gleams athwart a crimson soul

Lambent flames; purple passion lurks

In your dusk eyes.

Red mouth; flower soft,

Your soul leaps up and flashes

Star-like, white, flame-hot.

Curving arms, encircling a world of love.

You! Stirring the depths of passionate desire!

 

Alice Dunbar-Nelson. You! Inez!
