Foolishness

Well … just more foolishness really. And that is the nature of these things. We are all born brimming with foolishness but, with the passage of time, some of us get over it.

Not me. There was a period somewhere way back that I tried being sensible for a while, it lasted for maybe a week at best, and was exhausting, so I stopped all that and have never really looked back.

So I responded to a poem from Here with a short one of my own – a confession of my own hopeless foolishness.

Make of it what you will ….

*

It takes a fool to fall in love

The second time is worse

But when you’ve done so more than once

Love becomes a curse

But foolishness is in my blood

It throbs through every vein

I’m bleeding tears of foolishness

In love with you again

  1. Bravo! I love your responses to some of my poems, so very poetic!

    Foolish is something I’ve been more times than I’m willing to admit, this was before God got a hold of me. I got a bag of broken love from past relationship, I still haven’t gotten rid of or repaired yet! I’ve been meaning to take them to church to try and repair them but I’ve decided to nurse them back to health just me and God because the church wants too much money! 🙂

  2. Righteous!! And foolhardy! Indeed, the Fool from Tarot is about brazenly taking a leap of faith into the unknown, and it’s seen as a good thing, a new beginning, a fresh start!! Great poem!

      1. Love is invisible
        Love has no shape
        Love is a painting
        You’re yet to undrape
        Love can’t be purchased
        Love has no price
        Love is just chance
        Just the fall of the dice
        Love’s not a challenge
        Not a treasure to find
        Love’s not an offer
        That can be declined
        Love is a virus
        You simply can’t shake
        Love is potion
        A spell you can’t break
        Love’s accidental
        A slip of the tongue
        Love’s an infection
        You’ll be bitten, be stung
        Can’t touch it, can’t smell it
        Can’t see with your eyes
        Love takes a shape
        That you won’t recognise
        Love’s a chameleon
        Every time it’s brand new
        So don’t look for love
        Let love find you
