Rosegarden

Wear the mask from the other side
It may suit you that way
Hide your face and seize
Glistening dreams on a
Summer's night

At first glance it was real
It had such an appeal
A rose garden of everything
And nothing

It's not hard to retreat
From a belief in deceit
Despite all the spells cast by a smile

It comes in phases, the stares, the gazes, the scent, getting lost
Getting lost in a rose garden of everything and nothing

Whatever the Moon might reveal
It feels kind of surreal
It reflects and attracts midnight flowers

Is it even allowed
To throw rocks in this pond
To keep the circles moving?
