Love is still one of the sweet mysteries of life. Some consider it a form of madness. So often who we are attracted to, who we fall for, defies logic and reason. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Chiemi, a local singer and songwriter explores this thing called "love" in her poem "What Fools Call Love."
What Fools Call Love
Make Double yourself and I will take
The one less perfect.
Put me down for the one with the flaws,
The one uncertain; the one still searching.
Ever in your arms, but ever in days
As in dawn
Eyes wide in soft pools
In rain
Ever new songs.
New words but …most of all
Ever in what fools call love
Not so charming
Bet the farm and the future Porsche
On the one who’s not always winning.
Chain me to the one less happy
And light and life
Will cure all debts
Make all free Make all free ....
CHIEMI
