Love Is Blind

Love is Blind -  Tanka

I’m close to you now
But I cannot see your face
Your touch excites me
Touch is a response to say 
My love is as blind as I

Love is always blind in the beginning but as it matures or we do it changes. It is not the eyes that play an important roll in loving it is the ears. I really appreciate hw your poems give me thought.
