The Scarlet Marquise

Folder: 
Love

In my mind's eye,

I see you awash in scarlet.

The fullness of you

bringing a smile to my face.



In the theater of my mind,

I watch you play.

The method of you,

the movement of you,

making me take notice.



In my train of thought,

you ride as the one passenger

I notice as I enter the car

[there is always one].



The seamstress' scarlet marquise

drapes over your frame with

an almost loving caress.



And the love it makes

while in Zen-like unity with

your body is enough to give

me pause and take the air

from me.



My imagination sees you clearly

and with sincere conviction

I place you in the forefront

of my thoughts

for the duration.



And as I drink you in,

noone can remove your visage

from my temporal reverie.

For you are stark and real

and excitingly, profoundly

striking.  



What soul is so remarkable

as to have windows so

deep and clear, one can never

see their source?



You move me.

As sound moves air,

as life creates memories,

You are my eternal visual.

And if you are all I ever see,

I will watch...

4ever.

This was inspired by someone beautiful I know who I saw in a red dress and it so entranced me that when I sat down to write, this is what "came out".
