Love Blindness

LOVE BLINDNESS 
By Tapiwa N. Maseko

It is really true
That love is blind
Because there is no clue 
Used to bind
Two hearts and not three
Into one good bond 
That makes the most eluded 
To be the most wanted 
The one with defect 
To look so perfect
Yes there is no clue, rather than blindness
Of great love 

Something peculiar with the defect
Sometimes it does not have eternal impact
The defect is understandable
Because in some cases it is curable

When your blindness halts
When your love evaporates
It is the time to regret
The choice for you did opt

When the love from your heart vanishes 
All the feelings turn into ashes
Like they are in burning furnace
From your lover’s face 
No more you see beauty flashes
But the scars
That your heart deters
