My Foolish Heart

A foolish heart on a merry- go- round Can never see those up and downs Turning sometimes under, over, out of sight Soaring love makes you giddy, up on flight Captivated floating above the ground ! A foolish heart never hears those warning signs Those spaces between those whispers that will never be mine Still seeking with a vulnerable hope A yearning for affection, or to catch that averted gaze on a slope! A foolish heart never hears nor sees rejection For in time love is all but just a projection Thrown into madness, the heart but comes alive and brings Confusion it was, but how can you run from such a captivating thing? Attraction drawing you in, like a moth to a flame! We can die for love, and that’s a crying shame My heart tried to hide, but came back to seek What could it do? It was a foolish heart it became too weak! 3.3.22 Sponsor: L.Milton HANKINS Contest: “My Foolish Heart”
