Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

You Are a Fool

I am crazy, there is no doubt
For desires exist far beyond my dominion
Who would not like a bite of the forbidden fruit
Or for that matter some chocolate mousse
If only I had a love in my arms
Who felt as I
As be both stared up into the nights timeless sky
Would not the heavens be a beautiful place
For the two of us… one day long away?

I must return from whence I came
I retreat defeated back into history
Far away and long ago
Bitter sweet memories of loves past
Prevent the spring of coming to full bloom
I must as always go on a regime
Of feelings enclosed
Inside a box of dark dreams
I may be a fallen angel

But alas you are the fool

Lucilla Carrillo April 27, 2014 at 9:41 PM You get righto the point. At one time or another - I guess we are all fools. I think it's better to be a fool on our own, than for someone to make fools out of us. I like the line - Far away and long ago. I think there is a movie by that name. Good night and God bless... Lucilla Arthur Vaso May 23, 2014 at 11:33 PM Hi Lucilla, well people can try to make fools of us, but a kind heart is always a kind heart, that's just life! Better to have a kind heart and be a fool sometimes, than otherwise!!!!
