She saw red
it was a bleed.
Shock at the race track
had her see the crimson leak
that kept her from a moment's rest

An experience of a bleed back then
had her cower from a torrent of kisses;
shielded herself from unforsaken love
how unwanted...how invasive.

whatever shock that followed
would rekindle the scarlet glow;
a crimson leak...so long gone
had sent its tentacles forward
to mar her clarity of vision
on the hunt to catch the vixen....

that same hunt that saw her horse
suffer from a head-on collision
re-enacted a childhood vision
another hunt of course

On the run..she would still see red
until a man would have her confront
a moment in her childhood past
unearth an uncomfortable approach
another man...actually her mother's lover;
of the accident..suspicions hovered
when she defended herself
against an unwarranted love.

Martin,
Seems I managed to take my literature course without reading! Hmmmm...

Nice write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Guess that makes certain literature unique...hmmm
had a storyboard in my head sparked by Hitchcock's Marnie...underrated compared to Psycho but a good thriller nonetheless

Ecrivan, I love this. It's very interesting. And, I loved Alfred Hitchcok's movies and stories. Remember the one named "Birds"? And, I loved "Psycho", too.

Earth Angel

as far as topics go then there is a boat load...everything from the thriller genre to the classic saga...and its a good thing to diversify when writing is concerned
