Foundational makeup to soften your gaze,
brushed in the hush of yearning’s touch,
close your eyes and let affection reside.
A silver knife that smooths the edges,
while creamy whiteness blooms ...
Foundational makeup to soften your gaze.
Carefully grinding the redness back,
waiting for it to sink into the snow,
close your eyes and let affection reside.
Delicate satin to cradle the moving white,
where something red falls, down and down,
Foundational makeup to soften your gaze.
Ionized apples, strawberries, and plums,
their fragrant blossoms sparkle with sweetness,
close your eyes and let affection reside.
But love dissolves like sugared snow,
slipping beyond reach, soft and slow
Foundational makeup to soften your gaze,
close your eyes and let affection reside.
