When I dance again
I think I will wear Scarlet
A petticoat of brilliant red
That shows as my hips wind
To the rhythm of island song
Or the beat of entwined hearts
When I see you next
I think I will wear Scarlet
A corset with blood red ribbons
One that stops my breath
Stops yours too, when you know
I have worn this for you
When I marry again
I think I will wear Scarlet
For all the world to see
A petticoat of spun silver
Ribbons of golden light
But a dress of gossamer Scarlet
All of me come together
When I wear Scarlet

Wonderful Val… so love your poetic verses.. 🙂 xxx
Thank you Sue. I write them, usually in the dead of night. Then translate them here. I am heartened that others read and like them.
They are like a breath of fresh air… And I am sure your brain needs the deep breaths from all of your endeavours in getting justice seen in this unjust society we live in at the moment.
Oh how I love the empowerment in these words! Yes ❤
Me too Christy, this one has more personal meaning than anyone could possibly guess at.
Bold, beautiful and confident! You go Val! 🙂
It’s been a while and now you return in scarlet, the color of elation, love and celebration. Love this. ❤
Thanks Tess, I have a few on the burner and in journals. I just haven’t been up to sharing lately.
Wonderful to have you back. Scarlet is hot! ❤
Yes, I think so also. Maybe more so than you know. 😉
Oh yeah. Pull up a chair. I’ll pop open a wonderful red. Let’s chat. ❤ ❤ 🙂
Maybe someday Tess I will drop all my secret selves but no, not today.
That’s okay. There is no hurry. ❤ ❤ ❤
I hate this system. I can’t tell where I left off. I look forward to M.O.R.E. 😮 More power to you, Val. ❤
It’s great to see a return of your poems … after all, (at least to me) you have a knack for them. At least this one didn’t cause me to run to the shower. 😉 … Interestingly,the image is of a dance, and you start with a dance … and my current post is about dance.
I have a few others Frank, they will be coming so keep that cold water.
Yes!
A sight to behold, for sure.
Indeed, I have a picture in my head
Ooh, Val, what a strong-willed poem. Love all the red. I’m especially drawn to these two lines:
“A corset with blood red ribbons”
and
“A petticoat of spun silver
Ribbons of golden light”
They’re magical and divine!
Thank you Monica. This entire poem is me, through and through. Red, especially scarlet is my favorite color. This one is just part of a declaration, a stomping of the feet if you will
I really like this.
Thank you. It has special meanings.
A corset with blood red ribbons
One that stops my breath
Stops yours too, when you know
I have worn this for you**
Did you write this, Val?
I LOVE Love love. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, I wrote it. All the poetry here I wrote. I am glad you like it. Thank you.
Perfect! Thanks. I love scarlet, too.
I do as well, it is one of my favorite colors. It also has some hidden meanings for me. This one is personal. I am glad you enjoyed it.
An act that shows bold determination. Loved this. 🙂
Thanks Carrie. It is my favorite color and yes, a bold statement
