Rose Petal Decorum

My rose petal decorum The tone that is covering the lump in my throat Swallow it down My rose petal decorum The tone that is covering the lump in my throat I’ll swallow it down To savor the mystery This unexplored horizon Ten thousand lifetimes in the arms of a dream So, dear, light the candles Place your world at my feet This love is never demanding And my kiss will always be sweet Dear, light the candles Place your world at my feet This love is never demanding And my kiss will always be sweet The paint chips away at the corners Where the past ran off to hide Because the beauty of the present Tears the linen up inside This love is faithful This love is steadfast This love is This love is Is love Is Love This love is a feeling I caught the other day This love is a fever A pill that slipped away This love is the reason For fingers intertwined This love is the welling eyes Of the one I left behind This love is the laughter A radiant, splitting sun This love is the wind in my sails As I blow out the candles, every last one Every Last One
