April’s Fool


 

Early spring can make one
forget better judgement’s rules
filled with lust’s anticipation
desires sparkle bright like jewels

April’s fey intoxication
can make winter’s pale heart yearn
to feel this grand unfolding
to see nature’s great mandala turn

this sweet inebriation
can spark love’s eager soul
can ignite the rash impulsive
can draw one to the jester’s role

the elixir of the world in bloom
is to the lusting lovelorn
a most dangerous of potions
causing clear thought to be stillborn

remember well and here be warned
passion’s frenzy can be cruel
spring’s fever, it is well known
can make one act sweet April’s fool

…here’s a little April foolishness…

…a bit less foolish…
