blind is love

blind is love

A Poem by Chebem Ike

What is kind
What is blind
Blind but sees
Blind to fault
Fault of what
Fault of one
One who cares
One who stays
Stays in good
Stays in bad
Bad to cheer
Bad to encourage
Encourage to live
Encourage to stand
Stand and conquer
Stand and win
Win to enjoy
Win to share
Share in peace
Share the joy
Joy of hope
Joy of life
Life to live
Life once again
Again to thrive
Again to strive
Strive for bread
Strive to stay
Stay and reciprocate
Stay and care
Care for others
Care for them
Them that suffer
Them that lack
Lack the confidence
Lack the strength
Strength to fight
Strength to endure
Endure their pains
Endure the strains
Strain that hurts
Strains that punctures
Punctures the mind
Punctures the heart
Hearts of men
Hearts of women
Women in love
Women who hurt
Love....
Hurt....

Top quality skill. This write up denotes a clear instance of "Run-on-lines".

If i may ask... Is this type of love real or ... "utopian" ?

I like how the end of one sentence leads right into the beginning of another whole new meaning. This is good.

Thanks momzillac. But d work was nt completed yet. U can now see the completion. Its called blitz. Got a lot of rules. Though I deliberately altered d rule in my title, a bit. U can learn about d rules at http://www.writersdigest.com/editorsblogs/poetic-asides/poetry-prompts/poetform-the-blitz. I actually got my title from the first word of the 4th line from the top and from last word of the 4th line from the bottom.

There's an interesting, free associative feel here…

NOTES: I think, maybe, add one more line -- your title -- as the closing line of the poem. Or, maybe, break the poem into stanzas, with that title line as a repeating refrain between stanzas.
