You Are a Fool

I am crazy, there is no doubt For desires exist far beyond my dominion Who would not like a bite of the forbidden fruit Or for that matter some chocolate mousse If only I had a love in my arms Who felt as I As be both stared up into the nights timeless sky Would not the heavens be a beautiful place For the two of us… one day long away? I must return from whence I came I retreat defeated back into history Far away and long ago Bitter sweet memories of loves past Prevent the spring of coming to full bloom I must as always go on a regime Of feelings enclosed Inside a box of dark dreams I may be a fallen angel But alas you are the fool

You get righto the point. At one time or another - I guess we are all fools. I think it's better to be a fool on our own, than for someone to make fools out of us. I like the line - Far away and long ago. I think there is a movie by that name. Good night and God bless... Lucilla

Hi Lucilla, well people can try to make fools of us, but a kind heart is always a kind heart, that's just life! Better to have a kind heart and be a fool sometimes, than otherwise!!!!
