Red Paint in regret there is so much I wish I had said look to the sunset they are there painted in red... tenderly I will hold you through the darkest night and if you fall it is my hand that will hold you tight I can not promise perfection for it would be a breach but if you get lost, empty, or lonely I am within reach with my very breath, my words, my every deed your touch and your heart will be my only need |

“with my very breath, my words, my every deed your touch and your heart will be my only need” That is a great deal to offer and too much to ask for. |

Helen: I can not promise perfection for it would be a breach but if you get lost, empty, or lonely I am within reach this is all, really, what is needed. |

Red is such a powerful color to have used for this image. I feel sad, but a great write. Keep up the good words. Bloom, Gina |

Red sky at night, sailor's delight! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

This sounds like you are the one who lost, however I think with writing like this it is the recipient who truly lost out. Another masterpiece. In the wooden chair |
