Poem Title:
Poem
[Verse 1] She walks in flames, a fire in her eyes, A riddle cloaked in mystery and skies. Too hot to hold, too bright to see, She’s the secret no one’s meant to keep. [Pre-Chorus] Every step, she leaves a spark, Lighting up the shadows in my heart. But I can’t reach, can’t touch the flame— Just dance around her haunted name. [Chorus] She’s the enigma in red, A story left unread. Dancing on the edge Of every word I never said. Too wild, too free, She burns right through me. The enigma in red Won’t get out of my head. [Verse 2] She left a note on a diner napkin— Just half a line, the ink half gone. I’ve read it fifty times since then, Still don’t know what she was on. I chased the glow and lost my way, Drawn to her heat like a moth to day. She never stopped—just passed me through, And left me scorched, but nothing new. [Pre-Chorus] Every glance, a loaded dare, Like maybe I was never there. I tried to hold, I tried to stay— But some flames just slip away. [Chorus] She’s the enigma in red, A story left unread. Dancing on the edge Of every word I never said. Too wild, too free, She burns right through me. The enigma in red Won’t get out of my head. [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll find the key— Some reason why she looked at me. But till then I’ll sit with the scar, Admiring the burn from afar. [Final Chorus] She’s the enigma in red, A name I half-forget. Still dancing in my head, With every word I never said. Too wild, too free, Still tearing through me. The enigma in red— The best and worst of me. [Outro] She’s the whisper in the quiet night, A flicker fading out of sight. An ember glowing, soft and low, Where broken dreams and secrets go. The heat that warms, the sting that stays, A dance of light in twilight haze. An enigma wrapped in scarlet thread— A flame that burns inside my head. And though I reach, she slips away, A ghost of fire at break of day. Forever caught between the red, The words I’ll never say… unsaid. Note: Grateful for an 10th place finish in the Your Choice N Contest.
