Blindness
Blindness
he sees only darkness
through his one eye
denying my love
and stroking his pride
what a waste his life has become
keeping him distant, alone, and glum
why can’t he see this beauty he stores
instead the curse of blindness he endures
what evil dragon struck him down
and made him believe himself a clown
my ginger angel with tattered wings
it is for you my lonely heart sings
my love could mend his broken wounds
and reveal the light he keeps entombed
he hides himself from all who stare
especially from those of us who care
