A Fool's Paradise

I am alone in myself
Alone in a world filled
With headaches and pains
Waiting for love
Searching for happiness
Alone I thought until you came
Yes, I remember the day
I remember you though strange at first
Filled with secrets and mysteries
The intensity of it all
Grew with each pressing day
So many questions, yet not a spoken word

Alone I thought until you spoke
Not with words falling off your golden tongue
But with the most majestic smile
With the most captivating gaze
From eyes that beckon me to take you
One opportunity I would leap out
But I remain hesitant, cramped in posture
Bound by chains of uncertainty

Alone I still wait
To hold you, to squeeze you
Yes, I won’t
Pondering what to say, to do
How to get
Licentious acts flutter through my mind
With blazing gaze and subdued persona
To hear those words to cease the moment
I’ll be forever a fool in a paradise
