Red Boots, and the Radio's Love Song

by FireFly - Libra

It’s late-
Yeah...the buzz still there-
Checking the lights...green-
One foot in and one foot out-
Thick leather sound brushes up against my ear-
Zip up, its cold-
Gonna step in-
In midnight, she shops in star light, window shopping diva-
Red boots she’s looking for-
She wanted them…for her birthday-
Time clicking like heels round me-
A hostage of my own willing-
A star in my own comedy-

Stillness shattered by wild hands to my face-
We bleed somehow together in our distinguished pain-
Melting into the street drains-
Into the city sewer-
Held hands thru the private tunnels-
Check the head again-
Fishing for the buzz-
The reason-
The only reason-

Red boots, pearly smiles, between the candles-
"Happy Birthday"-
She asks me where we’re going-
I reply "I don’t know"-
Click my heels three times, I’m home-
Her eyes wide with fear-

I’m sliding; she’s holding me up-
I’m putting up a smile-
Red boots gone walking all over me-
Feel’em all over me-

Its late-
Yeah…the buzz gone-
Curled round the radio’s love song-
She curses me-
Temples thumping-
In irregular beats-
All my love under her heels-
Blurry red boots dancing round me-
I see her…piercing eyes in the crescent moon-

Radio love song…fading behind me-
Radio love song…jumping in a river full of angels-
...all over me...

Queen! She’s the turbulence in the otherwise tranquil empire-
The onlookers, the cronies, the peasants applaud her-
With out my protests, they no nothing of her true intentions-
Her watchmen-
Watch each nuance with careful calculation-

And then I puke-
Puke and Puke all over her-
All over her followers-
And all over her new Red Boots-

Silence...except the muffled tones-
Of the Radio's Love Song-

Reason for writing:

    I don't know
