Moulin Rouge belongs to the fabulous Baz Luhrmann.
For the wonderful Petal - "Amuck amuck amuck!" Kisses and sexy men on hooks, darling.

Jade high swirling in her veins; strawberry gashes

Behind lace and whalebone.

Smudged lipstick and stray tears, buried inside

Her soul - she unravels in his arms

Tangled thoughts and broken pieces patterning the ground of her life

The dance that bound them together - the words threatening

To crack apart their fragile, emaciated haven

Wasted, dirty Eden

Irreverent woman chained in love's grip

(let go let go let go)

Lover piqued by her struggles

Hands digging half moons upon her flesh

And passion on her black

Heart

Screams silenced and tears dried in smoky limelight

And numbing sleep
