Well since there was only one entrée it wins by default buttttt I really do adored it!
Not only is it my first poem for Red Rose but it’s so beautiful! I love the way it flows together and the emotions that are depicted in a imagery. It just blew me away! I really do adore it!

Red Rose- Seto x Emi
Red velvet and wine, crushed under crystal glass-
That's all she thinks about over and over again,
Hands brushing memories and eyes like the blue at the edge of the storm
Rain-washed fragments in her heart.
Always red between them-
Smooth dragon-ice hands caressing her neck as they draw up a silver chain
Metal rose burn against her throat, price of a father in the petals
And still the scarlet moment, turning and looking into the face of the reptile
Breathing silent sheet flame, hard as silver, cold as hoarfrost
But in his gaze, a hint of warmer gold, a hoard of humanity so carefully guarded
Holding it for a long instant, then turning and gone in a rustle of gull-white cape again.
Red again, wrapped in amber, burning like silk down the throat
Scorching tumbler of whiskey, age rules there and popping like so many bubbles
Eyes glancing up over glass after her unzipping all her soul's secrets
To find another face hovering there instead, the dragon's claws retracted
And wings, shivering with winter smolder, spreading to curl around protectively
Before lips meet softly, accidentally, unthinkingly, simply.
And now she sees, clear as light in a shade-darkened room,
The red blood, red heart singing under the glass, hidden by diamond money
But worn by steady drip of friendship's heat to unearth gentleness beyond tall windows.
Roses are red and dragon eyes are blue.
But she's a summer-day blonde, and he's an autumn-rain brunette.
