"It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live."<br /> -Victor Hugo


Love is purple, but amor is red.

Red as the candle wax,

Still left on the window sill after last winter,

As the gentle blush of your cheeks

After a long day in the sun,

As the rustic wallpaper in the lady’s bedroom

Of an old, grand mansion.

Red as the lipstick that I wear

That comes off after mere minutes,

As the chipped-away nail polish

Still present on my fingernails,

As the bricks that I count

While I wait for you.
