Love Is Too Blind

L anguishing in this sad torturing state O nly my mind to rip me into shreds. V acant of hope, she warned it was too late E very day since my thoughts are in deep reds. I nflicting the misery my heart needs, S he left me with only this one sad choice. T o cut my torn heart until out it bleeds, O ver the sound of my lost wailing voice. O pen your merciful heart my sweet friend, B e my angel, return life back to me! L augh and dance, do it all over again I n that new paradise, we have that key. N othing to lose and everything to gain, D eliver my relief from this great pain. Robert J. Lindley, 2-08-2016 Sonnet acrostic (tail-rhyme)- LOVE IS TOO BLIND.

Another good one ... and an acrostic too boot, I'm impressed. I once started writing an sonnet / acrostic, and then towards the end it came to my attention that my acrostic was a 15 letter word, not 14! How silly of me! So I ended up turning into a joke instead, at the end.
