The yearning in his eyes hollowed with...

See the face behind its age.
See the beauty of her form.
See the way her way becomes her.

when it enflamed many a man.

See the way...

Memories, someone asked?
Here’s one. Let me pull it out from the past,
Let me set it next to the grandfather clock in the parlor,
That used to count out time in chimes by the hour.

Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames...

Cinderella made an entrance like aurora borealis
That sent a shockwave...

Laughter in deep dimples sets as lava, seats silently with desires.
