The Illusions of Love
Love is blind
And I have no sight
Like an aimless shooter
I nosedived into perdition
They warned me sheepishly
But I succumbed to the sight
Which I in-depth-ly lacked
I was warned of your lot
But like a lost dog I heed not
In my non sight
A goddess with revered beauty
Sprung past me with values
Of outward qualities alone
Her beauty is like the calm
In the stormy voyage of titanic
The beauty of the rose
That lay by the cedars of Lebanon
Cannot sweep off her charm
Spell bound I divulged my deepest thoughts
She stared at me in awe in jaw dropping form
I purred after her like an unrepentant sinner
Until she gave in to my demands
We tied the nuptial knot
She has been granting pleasures like a genie
365days succeeded the union
I decided to take her out
To reaffirm our loves growth
That is like an old wine
I kept gulping battalions of drink
She kept eating like an hungry lion
Set out to devour me
I asked her to drink
She kept mute with a wry smile
I took little food
Because my stomach was filled
With rivers of drink
Until he told me she has confession
I wandered what it could be
Until he said I can never get pregnant
A shake of immeasurable measure
He said she is a transgender
I am indeed a blind lover
