Black hearted fool
the darkest moment
makes the world smile
and shake their head.

I smirk as swear to
the loins that drive
a boy crazy over the
gazelles that leap
so gracefully.

I smile as celluloid
that embraces the heart
of all Venus's great
power.

I struggle each day
to find a piece of me,
and the ideals of
the happy conclusion.

All I wish for is an
enchanting voice to
whisper songs of
contentment into my
deaf ears.

And then the biting
feeling of Cupid takes
a hold of my small soul.
And I am lost again.

Yet I doubt I will be
young enough to feel
it or witness it again.
So I sit and stare out
into the blue skies
and dark nights hoping.
