Smells of bouquet
Lands on her dress

Laces and Braid
She catches each breathe

Air of romance
Seen on her dance

Pink and red roses
Fall upon her hair

Femme, my lady
She's a beautiful femme
Leo Paul Johnson Dec 2014
The Lady in Red Satin sits before me,
Asks me, “Dear, how long is it going to be?
Before I lock lips with you in eternal glee,
And we run away from this place, wild and free? ”

Her lips are sure luscious, as juicy as can be,
But I keep my restraint and tell her, “Not now Honey,
Because this place is so beautiful, it has lots that I haven’t seen,
I have dreams too to reach, can’t you just see? ”

She frowns at this, says, “I’ve been waiting for long,
For a kiss from you, from the day you were born.
I’ve been with you, my dear, all through your life,
All through your strives, like a faithful wife”

“I know that, my dear, don’t you worry”, I say,
“I’ll come to your arms, and sleep in it one day.
But for now, the only thing I can say,
Is that, I have dreams to reach, that I cannot cast away.'

I stop talking to her and resume chasing my dreams,
This lady is impatient; she can’t wait for long it seems,
So I treat each day, as if it were my only day,
Because, this lady named Death, could kiss me any day

She sang the trot like she owned the narrative,
as if she was singing about her inner most secret.

-The  lady who lost her lover
The place where she met him
The Place with the Camellia flower

It was a place of summer and ray bloomed
while it matched the radiance of the two Paramour
and a reminder of their internal chest thumped in unison

In the street where they first met she stood alone
fatigued with no more breath to give
Many nights shed her tears by the Camellia flowers

Now the flower leave crumbled
The petals showed it's red bruises
and falling like the tear drops

When will the lover come back to her
To the lonely Camellia Flower
When will he come back-

The song ends with a grasp
as this German lady song ends with her whisper
To the Korean Trot song of the past

To the song "Lady Camellia!"
Not to get confused with the 1848 published French Novel "The Lady of the Camellias," or better known for "La Dame Aux Camelias!"

As I was web surfing in youtube, I came across a Korean Talk show, and in it she sang the old Korean pop song genre called Trot! Mesmerized by how well she spoke in Korean, this German lady singing even in Korean old trot song.

I took liberty to translate the lyric the way it seemed to fit perfectly, so I can't take any credits!

Updated notes: After doing several research, there maybe a correlation between the Old Korean trot to the even older French novel! While the music gives more of a story of two lovers and the anguish of the lady, the French novel actually makes the Lady Camellia as a courtesan.

Hush, woman don't you cry
I am the last person to whom you will say goodbye.
don't put too much thought in your last words
we are here to watch you burn.
Emily Kaminski Oct 2014
Your fur is a silent shadow.
Yet soft as silk.
Your eyes of emerald crescent moons,
hold so many stories.
Stories of lives you've encounter and lives you had before.
And it's the biggest expressions you have to show.
When you walk,
no one hears you.
Just only the bell you wear around your neck.
You sneaky shadow.
Your meows tries to be as clear as our language.
Your purrs are endless.
Your spirit never dies.
It feels like you'll live for all eternity.
You chose the ONE person that you'd like to belong too.
And ONLY that person you obey.
Like a dog; you might have in you.
You hunt 'gifts' for your owner.
In show of your love and appreciation.
You made sure that when people look at you,
they look at you as a human being.
Sometimes you know what's best.
You can read the characters in people.
whether they're bad or good.
You're just a simply unique cat.
---------------------------------
I'm glad I have you in my life.
After all the years we had eachother, I ask myself at times:
"What am I without you?"
In early 2000s my old man and I went to the animal shelter to get a pet(as my birthday gift).
My dad chose the one who gave his back to the world, as in gave up on himself. He was prepared to be put down(age of 3).
We gave him a chance and he gave me his lifetime(still on going) of  happiness and partnership.
I hope he serves JUSTICE to this world, or else it would be a waste of the name that was given to him(already) when we got him.
I'm glad that you belong to me,
Batman~ ->w<-

lady of the river indus
they killed you in the evening
they killed you out of love
and the stains that they couldn't wash off of you
they put your head in the water
and let you struggle for breathe
they waited for it to reach your lungs
to fill your mouth
to wash off the words, and emotions
and demands you made,
from mother sindh,
lady of the river indus,
you shouldn't have done so,
you should have let it be,
for they killed you in the evening,
but they could not **** you in my dream.
and now I shake, and feel I'm drowning,
above are the heads of men, surrounding
telling me they want to wash me,
and remove the mud off me.

Maybe this death marks the stake post
Of a past life...
Something that says act right
Or make them chain fight
Death

A pregnant woman cries in bed
Why me is all she says
She was having twins and she lost one
In her head she can't believe he is gone
As time passes her sadness deepens
No more partying on the weekend
From now on there would be no fun
Staying awake until she can see the sun
She's been through this before
But this time the pain is too much to ignore
Her baby doesn't let her sleep
She tries to no avail so she weeps
However, she loves her baby
I would call that being a real lady
She's stressing hoping everything works out
Cause right now she has many doubts
I made this for my sister during her pregnancy. Iris is her name.

it's hard not to bump into ghosts in
your house. you've been here
fifty years, or more, and there's
time caught in the marigold
wallpaper; minutes stuck between the
pages of the books you keep
but never read.

you're the unwilling curator
of your own museum-
you have stacks and stacks of
gardener's weekly,
- could build a fort out of them -
but instead sit in the middle looking
lost. you ask after people who've been
dead years, and perhaps it's because you've
seen them in the mirror.

(outside is the tree your
husband planted in the 60s,
spliced out of two and thus
unique. you stare at it sometimes,
and maybe you're wishing for
something-
or maybe it's just out of
habit).
