Crimson Blue

Paul Bell

It started on Crimson blue

The ocean touches you

Your body, free from soul

Inviting colours no

You see his eyes undress, caress

You shy away, tempted

Casual look

He’s watching, like he knows

Colours no

The waves crash

unselfish

pulses flow

Explosion in colour grows

The woman in you, glances

Free from soul

He’s watching, like he knows

Whispering to you

The secret of Crimson blue.

    Nicely written. Your poem captures a moment of emotional and physical connection, exploring themes of desire and self-awareness.

  • sorenbarrett

    Here is a feeling without form a color shapeless a woman without soul but not in a bad way but in a formless way. It is dimensionless and free. Well penned my friend and a fave

  • Thomas W Case

    Lush and atmospheric—this drifts between desire and abstraction like tidelight on skin.
    The grit is in the restraint: intimacy suggested more than declared, letting the colour carry what words can’t quite hold.

  • Doggerel Dave

    I enter in the middle of a relationship, an association - I hope you know where it is going/went because I'm not going to make any guesses. It kept me reading though.

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Paul, this carries a strong current of movement and tension…there’s beauty, temptation, and something unspoken guiding it all. The repetition and flow give it that hypnotic pull, while the undercurrent keeps it grounded. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

  • NafisaSB

    temptation and response - well portrayed here...

  • Mirela

    I like the way you used the colour-metaphor crimson blue, beautiful tension.
