FOOL'S GOLD

The husky hello was never so charismatic.

The crooked smile was never so beautiful.

The laughter was never so seductive.

The brown eyes behind the black frame;

were never more questioning.

I saw my mind fall for those words and my heart melt in the winter chill.

I tried to embrace the love in a glass jar but;

the silky sheen and the warmth of dazzle was not meant to stay.

My love, made me a lustrous lump of fool's gold.

Love, as I ever thought, left me far away.
