LOVE IS NOT BLIND
there is someone
who understands you,
who sees you
even more than you can see yourself
his eyes are like clear mirrorsreflecting to you
the you he loves and sees
and though you are afraid at first,
your fears are vanquished
and you are able to see through his eyes
what you were afraid to see
love is not blind after all
for love sees more
love sees what no other sees
and looking through those eyes
you finally discover the person within
you discover
the one he loves
the one whose beauty
reaches deep within his soul
you discover
and you see yourself
and you love the more
the one who opened up your own eyes
the only one
who is able to reach your heart
I’ve titled this poem “Love is not Blind” because I believe that Love, more than the common notion of blinding us, opens up our eyes to that kind of beauty we’ve never seen before. If love is blind, then it is blind only to our past blunders and faults, for love keeps no record of wrongs.
