Repetitions

One, two, three, two, five, seven Rhythmless feet clad in branded shoes Adventurous, brazen fingers strolling on wide, voluptuous stalks Towering sunflowers with wide, voluptuous stalks Pristine dandelions enticing pairs of hands Pristine dandelions enticing my pair of hands And I give in, and I willingly give in Summer petals weaken the gullible heart The summer petals abandon the gullible heart One, two, three, two, five, seven Rhythmless feet now bare Adventurous, brazen fingers now dormant One, two, four, six, eight, ten Rhythmless feet clad in cheap shoes Curious fingers strolling on wide, voluptuous stalks Towering white daisies with wide, voluptuous stalks Pristine dandelions spring once more Pristine dandelions enticing my pair of hands And I give in, yet again I give in Winter petals capture the derelict heart The winter petals emulate mirrors after caressing the ramshackle heart One, two, four, six, eight, ten Rhythmless feet once again bare, now calloused Curious fingers now cautious One, two, two, two, two, two Rhythmless feet hesitating to be covered Vacillating fingers mapping the wide, voluptuous stalks Pristine dandelions surface once more Pristine dandelions displaying subtle coquetry And I stall, for heaven's sake, I stall Fall petals demonstrate its desire to the heart The fall petals fall but the bitter heart hangs on a silk thread One, two, two, two, two, two Rhythmless feet discovers a rhythm A rhythm so unpleasant, so abhorrent Vacillating fingers now curl Curl into the palm in resistance
