THE CATWALK QUEEN

In a darkened room deep in the crowd

A familiar tune – the music’s loud

Spotlights dance around the stage

With knowing glance, I turn the page 

 

I see her and she’s dressed in black 

Not in person – in paperback

Will she pose for me tonight?

I hold my breath –follow the light

 

Through the haze all I can see

Are models strutting purposefully?

Then I spot her walking proud

The clothes she wears delight the crowds

 

Her sultry eyes and jet-black hair

All I can do is sit and stare

If I can get my timing right

Who knows – she could be mine tonight?

 

Out of reach – a designer’s dream

She is a peach – the catwalk queen

We all desire – but cannot touch

My hearts on fire – she means so much

 

Her picture in the magazines

Leaps from the page into my dreams

Maybe one day she’ll be mine

Then we can leave this pantomime
