Blind Love

Blind Love

A Poem by Patrick O'Neil

In the corners of the mind, the shadows of the heart. Lurking in disguise, a whisper in the dark. You think at first, it's nothing. Happened too fast, to care. When it happens again? Passion, chooses to ignore it. Soon, fire turns into a flicker. Leaving only coal, and ash. Open eyes, see, that hairy toes. Freaky nail, bent and ingrown. The mole, in a secret place, you swear, it winked at you. Longer, longer grows the list, every small, imperfection. Hearty farts, and belching burp, lost all, its comic splendor. Burning eyes and rolling tears. Peel by peel, secrets reveal. An apple, once tasted so sweet, became a sour onion.

I thought this was so cool. When you start reading you think it is going to be a rather sweet/sad poem but you really have a knack for spinning it quickly and it is very amusing! This also was like a comedic tragedy for me because where it was funny it was also sad in the end because we all know too well that most will think our flaws beautiful but till when is the question. Great write!

Lurking in disguise,
a whisper in the dark.

You think at first, it's nothing.
Happened too fast, to care."
A splendid read and write...:)
