Love is blind
or is it?
For oft to me it feels
if it were true
that love shuts thy eyes,
it is true as well
that thou shall still know
sure in thy heart
the direction of Truth and Virtue
blindfolded and smitten
just as shut eyes
of a head held high
know nevertheless the direction
from which the Sun beats...
Or perhaps better?

good one :)
love is not blind as it c
love has eyes coz they beseach
deep in thy heart they create a wide hole..
longer thy nights..pleading mercy thy soul
forsaken is the destiny perhaps the blind eye takes u to forsaken land..
what then follows is silence which thou finds hard to comprehend..
really good one!:)
Then probably it's not 'not knowing' but 'knowing yet ignoring' which makes it blind.

Love belongs to a land that forsakes all reason
Abandons light and darkness, outgrows every season

Exactly the point I have been trying to make in the post i have been meaning to finish.

Blue sad death..duped by heaven's vision..
I look it from a distant now..A distant star of urge..
my morning hymn..with the beats dirge..

Aren't 'love is blind' and 'love blinds' different? Love ain't blind.. ur example of the shut eyes and the sun proves it; it is our limited understanding of love that blinds us. Love does blind.
Eyes wide open or tight shut, the sun beats us hard these days. Belated happy environment day.
Love is an illusion,love is imagination...
Love is blind,as blind as a dust storm can make one's vision hazy or drive one crazy...
Its got no logic,its got no definition;
All I can say is that"falling in love" is no less than an expedition..
quite complicated
If I may be so bold as to write a literary criticism, I would like to put forward that the poem, though full in its own right, but the poet, while in the pursuit to fill the meter with choiced ( forgive me for not using 'chosen') words, failed to complete the theme. Maybe it was intended, as so many of the contemporary poets leaves certain things to the imagination. And they do manage to call it art.
abbbe....
yeh pyaar vyaar kab huaaa???
love is all you believe it to be
love is what you want it to be
love, madame, is as much as a common cold is to our medicine....
Who the heck cares what is it?
I suppose what we want to know is what it does to us and why and is it that is doing...

Nice words.
When all is over one may wish,
yet perhaps the gloom of today
is still worth the few moments
of light and bliss beyond the world
And then again, what does wishing yield anyway?
[anon]
Well said :)

Love does blind, true, though am not sure it's just limited understanding on our part.
Sometimes we know, understand, yet choose.
[desperado]
Really. I thought this was one of those really simple and silly sponty pieces
[johney]
criticism gladly accepted, and must say u're mostly right. Just that this was one of those pieces writtenat the spur of the moment without much thought or proof reading, just spontaneous expression of half an idea.
[aberrant]
Abey wahi to pata nahi chala! :(
[pricky]
Agreed, love and musing abt it is one of man;s fav pastimes.

It may yield to keep you on bay
once in sea..the mantle will sway
the worth of moment perhaps an illusion
more you wanted and remnant is not enough..
y the line is struck in between..
when everything was perfect but left so mean..
A moment to hold..not to let go..
the sounds of hollow wishes doesn't flow..
p.s. hey i saw another dreamcatcher in ur list.cool!:)..
hi..have linked ya..hope u wont mind :)

Hmm...I liked the poem, in fact ven understood it (except the last line) and something tells me that if I read your blog too sincerely, I'm gonna stop being happy! ;P
Good work, it sounded impressive, especially the Bible words "thou" and "thy". Also liked the Sun beats thing. Just explain the last line!
Arey, kuch to samajh aaya :D :D
Thodi kam confusing ho gayi main yeyyyyy :D
Chhod last line, jitna samajh aya kafi hai, kyon complicate karna hai
But itna bhi sincerely na padna ki happy na hona, samjhe :)
