The Woman With The Scarlet Shadow
The ruby of night floats in the sky,
a blood red moon darkens
the shapes and solid silhouettes
of grape vines
............................floating
...........................................down
Woman of the night lingers behind
a shadow of lust, cast
by the spell of her cherry lips'
....................................................soothing
......................................................................kiss
Travel acres of want in the night
The rhythms of longing
Woman with the scarlet shadow
and the plum
.......................coloured
........................................dress
a blood red moon darkens
the shapes and solid silhouettes
of grape vines
............................floating
...........................................down
Woman of the night lingers behind
a shadow of lust, cast
by the spell of her cherry lips'
....................................................soothing
......................................................................kiss
Travel acres of want in the night
The rhythms of longing
Woman with the scarlet shadow
and the plum
.......................coloured
........................................dress
