Lady In Red
In accordance to annoyance
The sage gracefully treads
In crimson red
She walks the road
Light on her feet
As if almost in air
Delicate curls grace her hips
Her eyes as red as her ravenous lips
Curves , carved as to perfection
Of angels and gods
Fallen far from heaven
She guards the lands
Protects it soil
The flesh that breathes
Even their willing steeds
Prematurely agitated
She calms them as they breed
But hidden under that saintly façade
Lies intent so deepy scarred
Villainous , so filled with rage
With death She be pleased
With blood She be praised
Her strength, be judged not by a
glance
For alarming, a beauty
Her only plan, be to make you pay
Revenge She seeks , of mercy not,
She speaks
For all that remains
Is her dark blood garnished sheath
Katana in hand She swiftly moves
Soft on feet
The streets She roams
Her mask returned She pales to grey
Bloody thirst concealed, delayed
Be warned , however , be not fooled
For beyond her beauty,
Lies nothing but the grave
