Nobody's Fool
She came into my life like sunshine,
a whiff of scent, the bouquet of wine,
And turned my world upside down,
Smitten, I acted like a silly clown.
Love-struck I threw caution to the wind,
Set aside all counsels saying, ‘love’s blind’,
I fell head over heels benumbed by love,
deemed it a sublime blessing from above.
Oh, how I trusted her with all my heart
And loved her madly from the very start,
For me she was the hot one and cool
But ha! Wasn’t I then played for a fool?
While she was all so demure and coy,
She played with my heart like a toy,
As a Femme Fatale she was better known
Her skills were more hidden than shown.
She was wise in the ways of the world
And gave in more to her instincts than told,
Yet, I followed her like a poodle on a leash,
Be it a rose or a diamond, I fulfilled her wish.
But alas, I soon saw my grave folly,
Never again I’ll bite this bait, by golly,
Never shall a woman use me as a tool
aware of her designs - I am nobody’s fool!
