Blood-red Sun

A facade of smoke,

covers the truth

of a blood-red sun’s

actions, uncouth

The sun’s red light

fades, after days so long

its blood-red color

sings a sorrowful song

A song full of grief

for a long lost love

sung with regret

like a single, lone dove

Its past comes to light

under its blood-red glow

a past full of love,

like a painful blow

A love, a song

a life never done

a life colored red

under the blood-red sun
