If I Can Fool You

If I could fool you, I surely would You’d be mine, your beauty understood I would fool you that my heart is sublime I would give you red roses every day To fool you into loving me I would kiss you softly on the lips Sweetly I shall whisper have I fooled you yet? I would hold you hand on seashore walks Enchanting your eyes with my fables and talks Every word would be crafted so So that I may be certain I fooled you so In the dusk, on a moonlit night Candles flicker upon our evening meal As I plan and deceive your heart to steal Once its captured, and your in my arms I would smile so brightly You being my prize and charm I know for sure you will entice me still And with a kiss right upon my lips You will laugh and dance and toss me a kiss With a question I already knew long ago You will ask me Who fooled who? Notes, This was inspired by Eileen Manassian Ghali, and her poem "I'm not fooled"

Very well done, Arthur. There is much truth to this one. And you have captured the honesty of one that feels it necessary to deceive in order to win the love of another. Enjoyed it my friend.... Robert.

Oh, Arthur..... you know what a romantic fool I am. This is like throwing me candy....... ;-) I'm touched to the core and what's more...... I'm going to fav this beauty of yours. Not because its inpiration came from my silly rant, though I'm glowing with that knowledge, but because it is gentle and sweet.....Romance at its best with a touch of passion about to bloom. Thanks for being a sweetheart.
