Looks Red, Tastes Blue

It looks like fire, bold and bright,
Burning crimson in the light.
But when I taste it, it's something new—
A mystery that feels like blue.

Red like roses, sharp and sweet,
But there's a softness underneath.
It's not just heat, it's something more,
A coolness that I can't ignore.

The color burns, but the flavor soothes,
A contradiction in every groove.
It pulls me in, a tangled hue,
Looks like red, but tastes like blue.

It's passion wrapped in calm disguise,
Like stormy oceans in sunset skies.
A clash of feelings, raw and true—
The sight says red, the taste says blue.

I can't define this strange delight,
The way it shifts from day to night.
But in this blend of fire and dew,
I find a love that's red and blue.
