SHADES

LOVE IS BLIND

Though the shades are drawn

upon my eyes

I forever sense

the spices of your sweat

cumin, cloves, mint, nutmeg

heightening in the murk

of my globe

so stimulating is your corps

I merely imagine your beauty

even more

Nicely original way to say "love is blind" . . . great details that summon all the senses, esp. SMELL! (love to get good smell off a poem!) Love your use of unusual words & unexpected ways to describe how another person's form beckons (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is a beautiful short poem Betty. Using the title love is blind and then considering a blind person using her other senses to recognise her love is a great idea and you've pulled it off brilliantly.
All the best.
