A prince of fools Dauntless stands illusions wave, That washes o'er this lonely knave. The sun casts doldrums over me. And death dances naked the sea. Not a sound does pierce the lull, Not a sight does spear the dull. Not a breath of air brings tease, Not a stir of air will ease. What fancies must I really wed. To kill the doldrums in my head. To what blind faith must I pray. To pacify the wind to play. There seems no language of belief, Can shed a drop of some relief. I would the smallest crack of door. To hear or see that evermore. Be I the fool, to be or not, Or just the fool that cooks this pot? A prince of fools in search the sea, That laughs a lock without a key. God grant me that of idiots lease, Or pity me, some petty peace. |

Sy No pity do I have for thee For you do sure possess the key You were the one to teach a mime How to read between the line And now so blind, as to not see The lines between the poetry Love ya, Liz |

Sy, Incidently, this poem is exquisite! Forgot to say that. It is your trademark writing, and should go in your first volume of poetry. But I hope not to take this poem seriously for it's content. Love ya, Liz |

As in "ignorance is bliss" Sy? In that, often have I wished for such bliss! Well done! |

Well, Sy, I can't say if you've reached prince status yet but you certainly are no fool. This poem is excellent proof of that. |

Great poem! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
