The Baptism of Scarlet’s Silence

Verbal violations

Crimson colored—adjectives

Bleeding unto her words

The shades reminiscent—

Of the darkness in her eyes

Outlines of yesteryear

Her suggestive sins

Linger in the mirror

Morphing images—she cries

Out to those torturous afflictions

She has branded on her skin

 

Verbal violations

The color of Their words

White out Their guilty consciences

And blacken prejudices

A refugee

In the land of femininity

Her sun-kissed body

Impaled by Their verbs

Rendering her colorless—

Merely turquoise veins

Spilling sorrows—

Spectrums puddle

Upon Their floors

 

Verbal violations

Their declarations of:

“Scarlet, you siren”

Make her question—existence

Their breath implying she is—

A woman

She must confess Their guilt—

As it has tattooed the body

Ink provides the colors

Freedom through expression

She finds sanctity in pens
