The deadly offensive of love’s denial
bears coffers and crates of happier states
and delivers them up bound and wrapped
with a promise and pledge of happiness
in the freedom to be … simply a fool.

Gems, sheer gems, of transient worth
tempt and attract with unfathomable luck
a whole host of the new order of folk
and confines them together in a sad malady.

But it’s beautiful there before I’m aware
of invisibly gifts borne by refusal
to accept and enjoy the bribe of these times
that gives no credence to future lives.

Preserve me, preserve me, but not as a fool
placed in line for a suction pump life
that dissolves and dispatches my energy
into the bin of disposable waste.

To live is to love and I’m alive now;
could the foolish be wise and cease to deny?
