It Takes A Fool ... Song Poem ... Thought Series ...

This thought was triggered by reading iamagirl blog....

Normally a song poem is written with just a line or word from the song. But I decided to write with all the lyrics and add my own words to it because unfortunate for me, the words hit home, and this was really one of my I hate love songs... I tried to follow the rhythm of the song as close as I could... 

 (My words are in Bright Green)

There was a time, after she had done me wrong, 

I would listen over and over to this song,

Contemplating in the shadows all alone,

While sitting and listening closely to this song words

Because I was a fool for falling for someone I had a lot of doubts about,

But being lonely, you lower your guard and let people in your comfort zone,

I let myself have feelings for someone who didn't have my interest at best,

Even thou I knew she didn't really past the trust worthy test,

But you think if you have know this person most of your life, then taking a chance should be a save bet,

Never thinking you would find out that this song was written by someone, who knew her better then me, when he sings... 

"Sometimes a girl,

Will come and go,

You reach for love,

But life wont let you know,

That in the end,

You'll still be lovin her,

But then she's gone,

You're all alone,

I never learn, to give myself,

I have been a fool,

And right now I "need someone else",

Just like boy blue, I blow my horn, only for you,

Just lead me home, 

I should of known

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"iI takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

Sometimes you have to suffer,

Make your bed that you slept in

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

Sign of pain,

Is on my face: well,

My hearbeat stops,

But I wont take the blame, (no no)

I gave her all, the love I had within,

My love was strong,

Something went wrong, 

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

Stop and think about it,

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

Stop, and shout about it

"it takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"it takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

I have to be more careful about myself,

It took a long time for me to learn,

I was a fool, you were a fool

Now we got lovin', we got huggin'

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love nobody",

"It takes a fool, to learn, that love don't love no one"

You look up and your all alone,

You were a fool,

And now you need someone else,

To heal your pain,

I should of known better,

But my heart was lonely

But then came you,

Learning me what love was about,

What sharing love was,

Learning me that love comes from within,

You taught me that love doesn't love anybody, 

Unless somebody love you back

"It took a fool to learn, that love don't love nobody,

It took a real fool to learn, that love don't love no one"....

Reflections..(The series)../ Beep, beep .. Prose poem

Reflections, is flash back thoughts of my past,

or flash thoughts of the future...

Beep, beep, beep, beep,

Eyes watched the life monitor,

Ears hear her moans from deep constant pain

Oxygen 90 percent

Heart rate 184 PPM

Blood pressure 210 over 175

Doctors baffled,

Nurses giving me a cheer up grin,

But I know a person lying at rest, that their heartbeat shouldn't be faster then a person running a marathon,

Her blood pressure is nearing a stroke rate,

But they smile and try to keep me in the dark thinking they are helping me,

Because they have no clue what to do

I ask a question,

The doctor blows me off with his high IQ answer,

Because he doesn't understand what is happening, so how can I,

I calmly ask the nurse some questions in a way to guide her towards my thinking, Again what do I know except the person I love is in serve pain for no reason

She screams every time they touch her, but they keep touching her and saying we are sorry but we have to check this and that,

Hours go by, new doctors come and go baffled, but they all know one thing for sure, to order more testing, 

I sit quietly, listening to the beep-beep of the monitored, while praying to God it keep beeping

I get irritated and yell at the doctor for not giving her someting for pain,

But how can he, he doesn't know what is causing her pain, 

What she might react too,

Look at her charts, and see what she has taken before,

Opps, good idea, but I won't tell you that he doesn't say

Beep, beep, beep

Two minutes after pain shot, heart rate slowly drops,

Blood pressure drops some,

She reacts by reaching out for me to hold her hand

Thoughts run through my mind, what if,

What if this time I come back home alone,

What do I say to my children,

How do I help them grieve their lost,

How do I grieve my lost,

My eyes scan the monitors and finally see a slim hope

A baffled doctor walks into the room,

He has no answers; he has given her every test he can think off,

So I calmly tell him I have heard of this condition from another doctor, could he please call him and see if this be that rare condition he talked about,

His defeated IQ gives in to my idea, and has a nurse pick up the phone,

The other doctor says yes, he has heard of this condition, but never has experience it, but this what he think they should do

Beep, bee, beep, 

Hours later, her heart beat is the same as someone jogging,

Her blood pressure has dropped into life save numbers,

I can hold her hand, while giving her a warm loving smile,

I thank God for making someone finally listen to this dummy,

So the love of my life can recover, and one day come home to be loved by me once again...
