Moments when I see red
I hate the pain
The anger
The resentment
Take that away from me.
Hold me when I fear
The red devils are taking over.
I’m better when my blue angel
Sits at my side
Casts fear aside
Holds my hand
Assures me.
Then when the purple fiend arrives
Cackles hideously, tempts me to sin
Tempts me to doubt
To fuck you off
That you mean nothing
That I’d be better in its malevolent purple world.
But I have faith, my blue angel
Faith is all I have
You whisper to me
Reassure
Placate
Show me a love I don’t understand
But want and crave.

And I find red comforting and loving. 🙂 Funny how everyone sees things differently.
Sorry about that, and yes we have different associations. Thanks Anja.
No need to be sorry.
I am not sure what I would hate more, the purple fiend or the red devil. A brilliant pic to accompany your piece Michael ~ the cackles hideously is rather wonderful.
Thanks Jenny, we all have colours we see representative of things in our lives some good some not.
Oooooh another brilliant take. I love the vehemence. I’ve seen new dimensions of your writing in both the pieces I’ve read today excellent work. I am especially drawn to your associations with purple, really excellent
Thanks Yves, this one came to me last night and I wasn’t sure if I could post more than one but our mutual friend said you would be cool about it, so thanks for those lovely words. I am finding the more I write the better I feel i am getting at it, and it is such fun, playing with words.
Post to your heart’s content Michael (there’s no limit on length or number of submissions I read them all) I am just happy you find inspiration with the prompt =) I am so happy to hear that because you are fabulous and versatile writer!
Thank Yves, you are very kind.
Lovely! Triumph of the blue angel!! 🙂 🙂
Thank Helen. You have to love a Blue angel who sits and holds your hand.
You do indeed!! 🙂
I love the things you do with colour – you seem to make really strong associations with colour and you convey them so well
Thank you so much.Its always fun.
Lovely, simply lovely. I’m going to have to look into this interesting prompt.
Thanks Georgia, I had two goes at this prompt. I love writing for mindlovemisery’s prompts. Check out my other attempt.

Thank you Georgia, that’s very generous of you.
