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
