Fool's Gold

by The Pessimistic Peabody   Aug 30, 2007


Kind words waft,
endlessly around deaf ears.
A gentle touch rests,
upon numb flesh.
How meaningless this has become.
A shadowed existence,
is all that remains,
bearing invisible scars
as the only witness
to utter the tale.
These endless plains coupled,
with the crippling headache
I call life,
leaves all hope wounded
and nugatory.
Your words, shall forever remain,
as fool's gold to me.

    Wow!! i don't know how to describe it but i really love this poem.. simple in sense that people could easily adopt the emotions and idea but magnificent because of the wording and the imagination, especially on how u portray your intense emotions.. great job!!

    It is such a discerning feeling when we realise all those words that we hung on to dealry are nothing mnore nor less than just words.

    Words with no meaning... words with no intentions... words as you say that are just "fools gold"
