They Say
They say only fools rush in
especially when concerning love.
But we rush at each other all the time.
We fling ourselves to the feet of others
and some kiss the dirty toes of an
imaginary friend called God.
But then you pick it apart,
the meaning of that quote and you
start to ponder the true reality of it.
Only fools rush in? We are all fools,
even that person who wrote that saying.
Foolishness, selfishness, hatred, love,
lust, greed, gluttony, and impatience,
these are all just parts of being human.
If only fools rush in, then I want
nothing more than to be that foretold
fool.

'Selfish fools who hate and love,
With lust, greed, gluttony and impatience'
May be a better way to word stanza three. I hope using knowledge gleaned from your blog is not too stalker-ish!

Not at all! The more people reading my blog the happier Cinny is~
I agree though, after re-reading it. I admit though that almost all these poems are wrote on whim and done in about 10 minutes tops after choosing a random genre and title. = u =

You're preaching to the choir here! My poems often ride on the wind of a whim without much look-in of the careful critic. The Muse is fleeting with her/his/their touch.
You can't hurry art, but time waits for no man or woman.

Oh definitely agreed there. My muse is extremely fleeting most of the time, so I act immediately whenever it appears.
