Lady In Blue

Moonbeams beckon on my window tonight
Dragging me out of this comfort to view
Delicate splendor impassioned so bright
Refulgent waves from this lady in blue

Dazzling in beauty, dignity and grace
Taut string of pearls adorning her bare neck
Highlight her dimpled and delicate face
Her eyes enchanting with a caramelized fleck

Soft scarlet lips with a wry little smile
Yellow cloth headband holding her silk hair
I stand there in awe and gaze for awhile
As sweet scents of lilacs float through the air

Strong my heart thumps for the lady in blue
Finally knowing my dreams could come true
