Life of Roses (in Red)

Xanadu (Oflibaifame)

(i)

Ringing on your sound a while
to near resonance frequency

when she gives her heart away
after, say, ten smallest nails

do not hook into the flash
but into your soul instead

where red roses bloom

(ii)

Exciting full blossom
her soul is when the dress

slips a way down unto
where black lilies gloom

not onto defeating senses
but your heart instead

you’ll see la vie en rose
