The Lady In RedA Poem by Megan
She swept through the room
In the darkest hour of the night There she stood All red and glittering gold Her breath smelled of cherries Her eyes were soft spoken Painted with the sunsets I've only seen on the west coast Innocent, yet sharp She came in the darkest hour To take me away She sat on the foot of my bed And layed a gentle hand on my knee Her words were soft And rolled off her tongue She said "Dear, I need you to come with me." I asked her where She said "Do you know the feeling of falling into a slumber, where the music fades and aroma fills your head? That's where I'm taking you." I followed her out my windows And wherever she took me I had a birds eye view from Manhattan to London I was covered in white, wore the most beautiful pearls And a natural glow beamed from my body Just like the lady in red I was cold, and millions of people were looking up at me She tucked them in And told me to look after them as they sleep I glance up And miles and miles away I can see the lady in red fast asleep on Saturn's rings She was absolutely captivating as she put the day to rest And was photographed by millions She trusts me with looking after these souls Keeping the young and rebellious safe Turning away for the ones making love And watching over those fast asleep In the darkest hour of the night I, the lady in white Will sweep through the room And take you away To the feeling of being awakened Where the daze leaves your body The silence fades And I too, will fade I'll take you away To the gift of dawn breaking. © 2015 MeganReviews
