Poem
The lady In Red She missed out on the green silk dress; it was sold before she did buy But when the red dress came to the store she did not let this one pass her by The Lady in Red as she became known set out to dazzle and beguile She would turn many a head with such a dazzling sexy smile. This femme fatal set off, not realising the power she did now hold The swaying of the hips, she was indeed a picture of beauty to behold Its low cut neck did display a white décolleté of rare fine beauty Many came and offered his hand, on one knee as was his duty The Lady In Red was not easily won, her heart she kept hidden away Those that tried to win her, found there was a hefty price to pay The lady in the fire red dress, sashaying down the street Had them stepping out of doors, and stopping cars just to meet. One day the Lady In Red fell in love, and then the problems did start She found there was a price to pay, when she wanted to give her heart From praying to the devil one day, a dazzling beauty she asked to be He answered her request with a warning; “Your soul will belong to me.” She was willing to pay any price to wear the red dress so beguiling She didn’t look behind her or she would have seen the Devil smiling The fine print on her request to the Devil, she did not bother to read ‘Your heart and soul will belong to me that’s the payment for your greed.’ The Lady In Red could not give love, just sashay far and wide Sweeping young bloods off their feet, then casting them out with evening tide Her heart would have broken, if it was still hers to keep The young man she fell in love with, was the one that made her weep He promised love and devotion if only her heart she could give When she said that didn’t belong to her, he didn’t want to live She tried to shed some tears but the devil dried them with his fiery finger “Next time you want something so bad, you better not let your eye linger.” You asked for dazzling beauty, you promised you were willing to pay Don’t come weeping to me because you have given true love away Beauty was more important to you than a genuine heart full of love You can take this young blood with you, and join as the hand in a glove But this love you found, this love you desire, the price must still be paid You can take this handsome youth, but under the ground he must be laid His life I ask in full recompense and then your love to him you can give But it will have to be in this lifetime, because you will not be allowed to live. © ~GG~3/12/2012
