Red Velvet

Red velvet curtains draped to the floor Lilac eyes you can’t ignore Snow-white skin shown through her dress I must admit I wish to impress All that night long, as I watched her dine Her peach colored lips looked so divine This would be the moment I would cherish Holding her hand and, her face I would embellish Dapper was I, with my tails and hat I would whisk her off in the night like a cat We would embrace our passion under the moons glare As we lay together amongst her long black hair I hoped there’d never be an end to our secret affair But the morning was approaching, I feared Red velvet curtains draped to the floor I found her gold necklace hanging over the drawer
