Blind Love
by Elise Coronado
I quickly scan my eyes around the room,
until I see those deep clear sky blue eyes,
enchanted by those bright eyes that consume
as if under a witch's spell, whose lies
allure to love that is not only blind
but oblivious to the faults in thy spell,
fights, arguments, there is no peace of mind
yet this blind love of mine leads me to quell
the doubts that absorb my thoughts and wisdom,
the happy memories numb the feelings
of the gloomy days in which I fathom
to be the power that keeps me dreaming
of perfect love, in a perfect world, yet
there is no us, but I choose to forget
Young, innocent, oblivious, happy
it is the time to bloom like a flower
to be given away by her daddy
to live, to love, and to seize the hour
but as soon as the flower was to bloom
mother nature took its life and power,
leaving the father in the living room
filled with agony as his will power
