Lady in Red Lace - POEM of the MONTH!

Lady in Red Lace
 
Red lace draped over her icy hands,
Starched cuffs covered his wrists
Like snow over bleak tundra lands
Yet two hearts melted in the mist.
 
A mist thick enough to get lost
But not for the lady in red lace,
Not when she melted his frost,
Ultimately in a bare skin embrace.
 
Embraced by the ultimate sunset
His frost returned when she left
A black laced sky and a cigarette;
He is lost in the mist and bereft
 
His icy hands draped over the black,
Starched blood grinds thru his veins
And in a bleak tundra about to crack
His heart melts without any remains.
