"Girl in Scarlet", September, 2006

(September, 2006)

Girl in Scarlet

Old fashioned girl cloaked in scarlet
No one knows you out of your glitz
Most behold you, pretty adornment
Taste most lavish, majestic and rich

But no ones knows the real you
The country girl at heart
The persona you stow away
Though with it you never part

Dinners so sumptuous
Escorts drench you in champagne
Enough to give good Ceaser
Real envy; a truly royal pain

Garments fine and regal
Pale near any given duchess
Superb heels and oh quite lethal
Exquisite form, fine and luscious

You dazzle with your charm
Suitors clamor for your grace
You break hearts but mean no harm
They aren’t your type, you’re out of place

You crave the simpler living
The one you left behind
Less take, more about giving
Your other life; abandoned and denied

The radiant face masks the sadness
Handling the empty feeling with finesse
Surrounded with spiritual blandness
Embracing cold success
