I WISH I WERE THE LADY IN RED

I Wish I were the Lady in Red

I  am present as you climb into bed

Your unspoken thoughts I wish to know

Thoughts of my extraordinary fashion show



I saw that look in your backward glance

I received it by my directed chance

I am the Lady in Red to you

Always, ever, in your memory’s view



This goal is my well --- slated intention

To capture you with womanly invention

Wanting to play Leading Lady in your mind

Attention to this goal has really taken time



And when I am in bed beside you adoring

Thoughts of this night untethered and soaring

Hoping The Lady in Red is imprinted on your heart

Praying for other ways to impress you with -- to God.
