Blood Oranges

Hanging off the branches 

Im hanging on a swing

The wind swaying them softly

The wind swinging me

Its colors are intense

A very bright red orange

The colors of me

When I’m excited, happy, joyful, ecstatic

When I’m with others who compliment me 

And when you peel away the walls

Sweet insides are exposed

And I’m not talking about

My skin and bones

I’m kind and sweet

Nice and neat

But I’m messy too

Blood oranges juice

Everywhere more than not

All over hands and sticking

An imprint on people’s mind

That I was there, and there I stay

Blood oranges delineate me

And here I swing on this swing

While blood oranges sway in their trees.
