Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

Fools In Love

FOOLS IN LOVE
To feel the talk of fools from such as you,
the slicing of the heart, your cutting knife
has brought me to this end we're going through,
forever now to die, all of my life.
                                 
                                ***
I set you loose but you've refused to go
from out of where I've put you in my mind,
and though you've told me why, I'll never know,
except you still enjoy what grief you find.

                                   ***
Though all the talk I've heard still takes my breath,
I can't believe I love you more than this,
to rise above your words that brought my death,
and still say, "I love you, in spite of this."
                                 ***
You ask what manner of a fool this fool might be
to love you as I do?  The song of me.

James Foulk April 2, 2011 at 7:51 PM there was a song back in the 50's or maybe it was the 60's called why do fools fall in love, this poem reminded me of that song. I enjoyed reading your piece of great poetry, moved real well and kept my attention.
