Speakeasy

The swirling haze of smokes embrace

The ambivalent look upon her painted face

Red lips puckered

She exhales plans scuppered

As he watches amongst the jazz beat

The girl who reappeared each week

Always sitting waiting in that seat 

 

One day inspired by music and gin

She was bold and danced right up to him

Red lips puckered

Her best intentions scuppered

She had an argument with her heels

Fell with the most vibrant zeel

Found herself before him kneel

 

Thankful for the mirrors and smoke

She vanished before the spell was broke

Red lipstick bleeding

She lost what she was needing 

Instead gained a shameful feeling

From gin and music keeling

She stole her heart from heeling

 

The swirling haze of smokes embrace

The ambivalent look upon her painted face

Red lips puckered

She exhales plans scuppered

As he watches amongst the jazz beat

The girl who reappeared each week

Always sitting waiting in that seat
