Fools Gold


An evolved syndrome of a dubious kind
of dreams, of glitter, of stories seldom told,
of hopes, of gore, of petrified eyes,
of lives smitten by fools gold.

of desires, of carnal sins and betrayal,
of passion, of pleasures that behold
lies and forbidden fruits devoured
of lives smitten by fools gold.

of love, of hate, of disbelief off late,
of wrinkles in relations that gradually unfold,
of obscure angst, and spread-eagled mistrust,
of lives smitten by fools gold

and then one day you face the ashes
of a stone that shone beyond control,
of emotions spent on false beliefs,
of lives smitten by fools gold.
