Blind

Fornicated bliss
Devoured, unearthed, blinded
Tomorrow lacks sight

Such a clever write - why focus on tomorrow - just enjoy the moment of bliss:-):-):-) I love the senryu and haiku forms - so few words say so much Drake:-) hugs Jan xx

Californication comes into my mind. And I didn't like what that was all about but somehow I do not think you were using the word in that context! I think this is a cool message, to be blinded by bliss in the moment. Not caring about tomorrow. Hope I got that right!

Poet Tacito
Date: 1/19/2014 12:07:00 PM

Yeah, nor did I. But, you're quite right about where I WAS going with this. :) Thank you so much, Andrea!

Interesting one, open for multiple interpretations. Bliss can be blinding, making the future murky but the present enriching. Thanks for the comment on my latest poem. I appreciate your uplifting words more than I can express. (: Always, Laura

I like to live in today, as I am forced to live in it at that moment, but tomorrow I can not see! Your poem explains this very well my friend! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!

Poet Tacito
Date: 1/11/2014 9:51:00 AM

Yes, absolutely. You can only hope, but not really see. Thanks so much, Russell! =D

when you're fully engrossed with something that seeks undivided attention, there is no past or future; only the ' now..'... wonderfilled imagery ever flowing!... huggs

Absolutely! =D Thank you, dear Nette! *HUGE HUG*

It is near impossible to contemplate tomorrow when you are fully engaged and being devoured by your fornicated blinding bliss. Rock on Drake!

Poet Tacito
Date: 1/10/2014 12:37:00 PM

Precisely, Richard. Thank you for grasping the meaning. ;-) Big man-hugs to you!!!
