Of wisdom and of hearts

Wisdom   is  a hindrance
As heavy as moon and   earth
Denying your existence,
Both  laughter and its mirth!


A Mockery when per chance
But woe once true and  earned
its  learning defeats  the dance
The heart – forever unlearned


T’is but a sign of age
And Love can’t exist demure
For once one claims you’re sage
No temptress shall hold a lure!


Yet,  know She’ll come one day
In both her joy and lament:
Unwise wisdom, shall give way
To  a heart  fore’er content
