Love-Fool


In days gone of you;
I look back to picnic rugs
seasides
and coffee shops.

I see you there
almost perfect with the
straightness of your smile
your eyes to the sky all
flighty and fickle.

and

there I am
flowing on a string
in the wind,
flapping carelessly
like those clowns with stars
in their eyes,
love-sick complexions
and decorated lips:

tasting the sand.

fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

love those lines, Maree...reminds me of someone who can be absolutely awed by nature, but tries to act "cool" about it...great write...

Maree, this is so pretty. I especially
liked this ending......

there I am
flowing on a string
in the wind,
flapping carelessly
like those clowns with stars
in their eyes,
love-sick complexions
and decorated lips:

tasting the sand.


Very beautiful...
