I’m a warm-hearted peasant <br />In the unrelenting cold <br />Holding in my hand <br />A deck of desired lovers <br />With broken promises untold. <br /> <br />I keep the homeless street people <br />Endlessly amused <br />Recounting stories of ignorance and innocence <br />In pursuit of making a lonely connection <br />With beautiful girls <br />Skilled in the art <br />Of manipulative rejection. <br /> <br />But no fall or terrible blunder <br />Threatening to destroy my mind <br />And plow me under <br />Ever leaves me disconcerted <br />Or skeptical of my destiny: <br /> <br />I’m the beautiful idiot <br />Weaving rose petals into necklaces <br />And showering the world <br />With kindness and romantic dreams.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-idiot/
