Manly dusted with cologne, bowing with a rose;
Rolling up those silken sleeves, he is so vintage;
His smile becomes a backflip, a ‘Wow’ in shocked eyes;
Showstopper noticing me, rouge so roughly raised.
It’s always those who can’t spell, abracadabra;
They try to darken the Sun, enshrouding the world;
Hiding that midwinter spark, as hope lights a match;
Heat stained cheeks of the night sky, there’s no going back.
