The color red

Just words

Il problema è che mi ci immergo troppo, in tutto. Nelle canzoni, nelle promesse, nelle persone.

             The color red

Once my life was,

dark and no color,

once my days,

work and no play.

Now the prettiest lady,

I had ever known.

Showed me the brightness of the stars,

make the night sweeter,

the days perfect and wonderful.

She waited for me in the dress of red,

her legs moving with the song and 

I told her.

Thank you my dearest,

for making my world colorful and so beautiful.

dear John... your poem reminds me of the song,
"Lady in Red" by British-Irish
singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh.
Your poem has the same feelings
that you convey in your poem.
So mellow and sensual. truly, Pat

I'm beginning to think Cupid is alive and well and discovering Coyote Poetry.
Another romantic bit that resonates with a sweet brightness exemplified by the red dress. Perfect against the black background...

Well done friend.
