A beautiful little fool

By: Jason Creek

She is a curious creature
vaguely engaged in life.
A beautiful little fool.

Her lovely face settles over a man's heart
like a deep gloom
and wraps him in turbulent emotions.
A beautiful little fool.

So soft and so warm
she can be stared upon
with romantic affection.
A beautiful little fool.

But then the glow fades,
each light deserting her with purposeless regret,
casting her out into the velvet dusk.
...A beautiful little fool.
