the reprise

 

something about some visions

they seem to be

as beautiful as the blush on a rose

 

something about some sounds

they seem to be

as smooth as velvet

 

something about some fragrances

they seem to be

as soft as velour

once you posses them

your mind will

hunger for more

 

oil of roses

touch her gently

lick lips to once taste that honey

 

but the light leads to night

and hunger only

becomes a crutch for the lonely

in the darkness

moments before the slumber

nothing illuminates the purple night

it is darkest right before first light

so sadly welcome to the fold

 

she hears all the secrecy

about the sensitive spots that scar
fear grips breathing quickens
at the brink of suffering

panic is almost uncontrolled

 

but there she is, like everyone at this bizarre bazaar

chasing beauty, like the shine of a variable star

we can be cautious with our kisses

out of hand it is a hit or it misses

 like all those pretty lies, the reprise of some unwanted surprise
