SILHOUETTES

As the years race upon the screen

There’s a girl in her aesthetic world

Sky is purple and she’s dancing

Jewels and rings around her

I’m her plaything

On the wall

The world’s a stage and art’s merely a dream

The outlet for her greatest fantasies

Is that why they can’t

Just banish her from their minds?

She’s drawing silhouettes

Spread across the bed

Don’t let her catch you watching

‘Cause you’ll never leave

Her room

Her room

Her orbit didn’t spare me, no

As I near the forbidden apple

She’s got her prizes mounted on the wall

(Oh baby, don’t do me no wrong)

She’s drawing silhouettes

Spread across the bed

Silver comets

Poems and sonnets

Suggestive fashion

Lights, camera, action

For me
