Red. Danger approaching: stop

Blue. Deep breath: open space

I am passionate- wild, lively

I am calm- peaceful, reviving

Brighten me and suddenly--

suddenly life is exhilarating

Mix you with my brightness and

confidence takes center stage.

After all, girls in bright red lipstick

get the attention they socially crave.

Water. Fire. Too much desire-

Balanced like the scales of Libra

Powerful like the roaring flames of Leo

Emotional and bendable like Pisces

BAM!! Suddenly you're burning. Why am I hot?

whoosh...suddenly you're freezing. Why must I be cold?

Too much of me and the tone becomes sad quickly.

Too much of me and the tone is an annoying irritation,

though not enough of me makes for a restless soul.

Richen my blue and I am noble.

Brighten my red and I am the love of life.

Lightened with white I represent feminity.

Lightened with white I represent masculinity.

My desire will spark a fire

Though my peace will wash over you like waves

Red. Blue. Opposite- Equal.

Forever to lead the emotional world,

Just watch out and don't get burned.
