The First Fool

 

Guess I'm not the first fool to spin on my axel

Mad as a hatter over you

I can't help but magnify your glory

The hold you have on my heart feels like a vise

Yes, I let you trespass in my head

Take over my mind like an opium addiction

Blow out my brain with one sensual gesture

Terrorize me with your wicked caprice

I tell myself I need to remain elastic

By myself flooded with a cascade of desire

Staying home waiting for your call for months

I can taste the sweetness of you on my palate

How can I live without you any longer?

Hoping today you'll finally notice

Hating myself for loving you

Mad melodies marauding through my mind

Make me want to defy reality

How can I lift myself above this insanity?

All I want to do is fly to you

I need you now, don't make me wait forever

Bleeding my heart out trying to figure

Some way to sow the seeds of love in your soul

I wish I was worthy to dine at your table

How can I rise to your level when I'm so far below?

How can I put my name on the tip of your tongue?

How can I make your gorgeous voice sigh that you feel the same way as I?

This prompt challenges you to find a poem, and then write a new poem that has the shape of the original, and in which every line starts with the first letter of the corresponding line in the original poem.

Well...

I didn't use a poem, I used a song: Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton-John. I used the first letter of every line, but beyond that, I took a whole lot of liberties.

I used the image from this prompt, but this is obviously a lot more than three lines.
