Betrayal

Vermilion,
She smiling said,
Is not the colour I most dread.

And staring down into my eyes,
She smiled a killers smile.

'Far worse than that
Is ruby red,
That shade I really do despise.'

Oh how I wept,
My life betrayed,
As sunlight sparkled off her blade.

And staring up into her eyes,
I knew my time was done.

Betrayed, in red,
And leaking death,
I paid in full for all my lies.

Beautiful

Something for the eyes today.

Wine

I can't pretend this headache

Is a cold that's coming one,

I've just looked in the kitchen

And can see the red wine's gone.

I doubt that it evaporated,

Given how I feel,

I much more likely drank it all

Which means this headache's real.

Oh evil tasty red delicious 

devils brew that's you,

All lovely, smooth and teasing

What's a thirsty girl to do??

But groping for my cup of tea

With dehydrated brain,

I know that come the next excuse

I'll do it all again!
