Clown To Care

Instincts
Can be erroneous.
Beliefs
Can be bogus.
Sometimes efforts
Will be futile.
And emotions
Left
To
Rot.

A thought can be confused
By a misinterpretation
Of muddled interactions.

A fool
Can be fooled
By foolish ways.

You're a fool to fall in love,
But
To live without
Would be foolish.

When a love goes unseen,
The heart
May tend to fail.
Making a ridicule of romance,
A disaster of desire.

You're a loser in love.

[Angie- Reading As Fast ..]

It seems as if you've been inside my head stealing my thoughts and writing them down! Excellent thought. Excellent message. Excellent write!

[Lauren Stegg]

Honest in concept and masterful in construction. I really enjoyed the repetition and alliteration found here. The title also, is perfect for the piece.
Thank you for sharing!

[Ashly Christen]

and sometimes the ending is the beginning
nothing is what it seems that is for sure
sometimes the plans we have for ourselves are totally wrong
the people we had faith in, let us down, the people we love, tear out our hearts, and thers nothing we can do to stop the cycle it seems

You�re a fool to fall in love,
But
To live without
Would be foolish.

yes indeed
we are helpless to its pull
no matter how we try to fight it, it always tries to push its way back inside

i agree completely with this piece
nicely written
another wonderful job

Yes, but as Shakespeare observed, "love and time make fools of us all". This was a great write with a lot of thought going on in it.

[Crazy Cat Man]

:( a great poem.......wow you are true poet...... yes we do feel like fools for falling in love with people who break our hearts....i felt like this once for falling in love with a girl who was a cheater...and i was the 2nd guy...i was like WHAT????

[Kristin Brecoe]

i like this poem

"Making a ridicule of romance, a disaster of desire"

That pretty much sums everything I've been feeling right up to now. What I think I enjoyed the most about this piece isn't the fact that it's about familiar emotions, but the fact that by the end of this piece, I am reminded that my own love life is like a joke that has been told a thousand times too many. . .but I still manage a laugh none the less.

You are a very good writer and this is a very good poem :)

[Barry Simiana]

of course you're aloser in love. what else can hurt so much as it makes you feel so bloody good? how can you win against something that can literally tear you apart in a second, ot lift you to heights unknown?
as always, a unique view of our emotions. i love, and have made a mini-poster of "a thought can be confused..." i don't know why, but that's stuck with me. it'll mean something, tho not sure what yet.
excellent work.

You�re a fool to fall in love,
But
To live without
Would be foolish.

Such a paradox... A great way to put, damned if you do, damned if you don't. This was a beautiful poem. Well written, and moving. You put an emotion to paper with this one. Thank you!
