Lin Lane Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

Blind To Deception

Her eyes are blind to all his lies,
excuses and false alibis
The woman cuddles, silently
beside her lover, brazenly
until dawn welcomes the sunrise.

She cannot see behind his guise,
the charade she'll come to despise.
Defending him, defiantly.
Her eyes are blind ~

One day it will be no surprise,
when the veil will fall from her eyes
but until that day, quietly
she lives unaware, piously
on knees, a slave never to rise.
Her eyes are blind ~

Chris Green July 10, 2017 at 4:20 PM I think in most cases, male or female...they know, they just choose to ignore, it is easier that way. Blinded by love or the safety of what they are used to. Nicely done Lin. Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 4:23 PM Thank you.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 10, 2017 at 2:30 PM Yup. Been there done that. Elegant pen. xomo! Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 3:51 PM Thank you ever so much, Maureen.

Jan Allison July 10, 2017 at 1:54 PM There can be so much deception in our lives lin such a pity when a person is so in denial they cannot see the truth:-( hugs Jan xx Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 1:58 PM True, Jan. Or, they twist the truth to suit their misguided judgement of others. That's deceptive in its own right.

Daniel Turner July 10, 2017 at 9:57 AM We all see what we want to see. When it comes to a lover, well, it's not a matter of seeing as much as it is believing what we see. No one wants to believe they are being deceived by a lover. Another fine write, Lin:) Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 10:06 AM And more is the pity that we allow our hearts to blind our eyes. Thank you, Daniel.

Freddie Robinson Jr. July 10, 2017 at 9:56 AM This is a brilliantly written poem, Lin. I agree w/Eileen. The rhyming is pitch perfect. Excellent Rondeau poetry. Love and hugs always. Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 10:06 AM Thank you for the commendation, Freddie.

Eileen Manassian July 10, 2017 at 9:51 AM The rhyming here is superb, Lin. I like the way you wrote this piece. It flows well and carries the theme to the end. Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 10:07 AM Thanks ever so much for your generous remarks, Eileen. I take your comments to heart.

Joanna Daniel July 10, 2017 at 9:32 AM So true many a time, Lin, though hope it were not so:) great rondeau:) Lin Lane July 10, 2017 at 10:08 AM Sad but true, Jo. Hearts are treacherous enough to blind us to what is evident before our eyes. Thanks for coming by ;-)
