In A Violet Bar, In Downtown Scarlet 1957
Folder:
Her (Hope And End) Violet drink
sitting in my hands
A cocktail stick
rotating between my finger
The dark scarlet light
Plays a feature across my face
As I stir my drink
Listening to the world around me
Violet girl
Standing on the stage
A microphone
Singing her heart to me
The mood swung beat
Plays a tune across my soul
As I look across the bar
To the girl I never had
Violet dress
Full of velvet purpose
A stern martini
Sits low in her hands
The stage swings it's tune
Between us both
But she isn't listening
She doesn't care
Violet bar
With it's sticky stains
Holds me to it's grasp
With lack of intuition
My drink looks at me
Seeming so empty
I order another drink
And one for the staff
Violet call
She looks over to me
Beckoning me her way
She waves her scarlet gloves
She says to me
"You dance, sam"
To which I reply
"Only with you"
Violet steps
We trace the floor
With our slow feet
To the scarlet tune
She looks me in the eye
As we slowly drift around
With her scarlet eye's
She embraces my heart
Violet hand
Embraces my own
I am no longer so blue
I am still not happy
But that's okay
Because I am now embraced
By the Scarlet Girl
And that's all that matters
