Fool's Paradise
Fool’s paradise
They say love is perennially blind, so let it be
Keep your eyes open, see what you need to see
Make her beautiful face a piece of transparent glass
Let your vision go to depth of her mind, take a glance
You may find a chameleon there very cleverly hidden
Its change of color you can’t predict, it’s so sudden.
In the glint of her eyes you may fly on cloud nine
You’ll fall with broken wings when they won’t shine
What sensuous mouth says may not come from heart
If you live in illusion in fool’s paradise, always be alert.
Don’t make the mistake Adam did in Garden of Eden
The apple may look tempting, don’t eat it even then.
