Blind Desire

Blind Desire

A Poem by c.m.
"

I'm sure we've all been here...ya know, if you can make sense from it.

"

These feelings seem irrevocable.

Jumping from behind corners in my mind,

Surprising and frightening me at every turn.

 

If you knew of my desire,

Knew of my want, my need for you

What look would cross you?

What thought would give way to emotion?

 

Any distinction in your eyes?

Not that my blind eyes will ever see.

 

Blind to your emotions,

Blind to your sweet expressions.

Blind to the way your lips curve into a smile,

Blind to the way you touch.

 

Your words are discreet,

But their true meaning, I can taste on my tongue.

Bittersweet terms of endermeant

uttered from your sweet lips.

 

I want to see your face,

Want to feel your delicate touch.

Want you see you smile.

 

Lord, blind me from these things.

I musn't indulge these desires.

Let them slip through my shaking fingers.

Release them into the sky, like captured birds.

 

Fly away, my blind desire.

I'm not sure this even makes sense...it's all I could make of how I feel right now. However that is.

I'm pretty sure I already told you all my feelings toward this in homeroom... :)

all good, of course...

"like captured birds..." easily my favorite line... we've all been here, we've all dealt with this, we're all human... very relatable... well done.

idk if im right but i feel you long for someone but then again are confused and it could be the wrong person you long for like they could already ve taken or you could just be scared to want this person and this is still a good write i felt much emotion from it

This poem has a lot of depth, emotion, and even some
sadness. It says to me that you have feelings for someone
maybe, you shouldn't, but so tempted you are, of your
thoughts.

Good write!

I could tell you some stories....this one really hits home with me. Your touch with these pieces is really getting amazing, looking at your profile as just starting out not so long ago, you are blossoming into a really good writer right before our eyes. I hope you never stop because you have a lot of time, life and experience ahead of you that will fit nicely inside these boxes we like to call writing. Good job luv.

This was amazing. Your style and use of the words (my blind desire) made this poem powerful and strong. The ending was outstanding. I like the story and feel the disappointment in your words. Thank you.
