Love Poem: Fool Again

Fool Again

It had made a decision-
Dry spell to cast over cheeks’ streams 
A stone to be;
Trust hardly beating 
The platter of aches;
To not lick at another time 
Relief that came with the burial of falling in(s) and out(s)
Its love became 

Then you came around 
Within somehow altered
The fears that awake lay
Took a temporary rest
As it swung along to the dreamy melodious feeling 
But reality’s prowess on the floor outdid it
Break dancing to the falling beat thought dead

It shuddered and took a Cinderella run 
As questions ticked on its mind 
Yester years it’d taken this familiar road-
What a bitter recall
Could it step with you into the known unknown before?
For if ever the old showed in the new,
Could endurance be strong enough to stand the rollercoaster-?
That had left its world dizzy and pale 

How true the more the judgment, less the love    
But this heart can’t help doing so –
Before- on air it was, then suddenly pebbles
It promised to be no fool ever-
Or can it?
