Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

The Blinding Eye of Desire

The Blinding Eye Of Desire




                              We begin at a breakneck speed and a 

                              hectic pace



                              Toward the finish line yearning to win

                              each pivotal race



                              Ambitions could prevail over adversity

                              beneath skies or beyond



                              Yet urging fate to hand the prize is like

                              mining gold from a grain of sand

Gershon Wolf February 12, 2022 at 7:37 PM Interesting comparison there, Anselmo: 'Mining gold from a grain of sand.' Perhaps you've coined a new saying: 'Can't squeeze gold from sand!' ~ Quotes and Quips, Gershon Anselmo Boles February 13, 2022 at 1:43 PM I like that! Let me see if I can copyright "Can't squeeze gold from sand". Lol. Thanks Gershon...ab

Sotto Poet February 11, 2022 at 6:17 PM Anselmo, you have expressed a very sensible thought. Fate is the one who makes all the decisions. Anselmo Boles February 11, 2022 at 9:31 PM Thank you for your comment. Sometimes one may feel so sure about what he/she wants and where to end up, but fate is the ultimate judge, regardless. Take care Lasaad!...ab

Anselmo Boles February 10, 2022 at 4:18 PM Thank you! Destiny makes the rules, not soothsayers, popes, dictators, queens or kings... Looking forward to your next piece!...ab
