another lyric contest...
Warm Wet Circles
On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins
where ceremonies pause at the jeweller's shop display
feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes
till they commit themselves to the muted journey home
and the pool player rests on another cue
last night's hero picking up his dues
a honeymoon gambled on the ricochet
she's staring at the brochures at the holidays
chalking up a name in your hometown
standing all your mates to another round
laughing at the world till the barman wipes away the warm wet circles
I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths
a classroom's shabby butterflies
flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes
planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations
rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razor webs of glass
sharing cigarettes with experience with her giggling jealous confidantes
she faithfully traces his name with quick bitten fingernails
through tears of condensation that'll cry through the night
as the glancing headlights kiss adolescence good-bye
in a warm wet circle
like a mother's kiss on your first broken heart
a warm wet circle
like a bullet hole in Central park
a warm wet circle
and I'll always surrender to the warm wet circles
She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse
giving it all away before it's too late
she'll let a lover's tongue move in a warm wet circle
giving it all away and showing no shame
she'll take a mother's kiss on her first broken heart
a warm wet circle
She'll realize that she played her part
in a warm wet circle.
this is a song by the band Marillion...lyrics by Fish...write something inspired by it...do not use the words WARM, WET or CIRCLE...thanks and good luck...may add hm's later

You always involve me, and let me tag along / When I'm sometimes lonely, or even when I'm wrong / / I see you in my shadows, the places that I hide / You come along my side, and offer me a ride / / I hold you in• Commented on by judge. [remove]
