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
