Best Blindfolded Poems

There she was , blindfolded by butterfly wings , 
Collecting shells lost in a forgotten coral reef , 
Listening to the rhythm of her breathless sighs , 
A self confessed queen , handcuffed by pearls and lace ,
While ocean of emotions gathered her strength ,
Standing...

If you seated ten blindfolded Poetry Soup poets around a table
 
That had only ever interacted and connected long term online

Asked the ten to chat to each other and ask questions

Though NO conversation whatsoever of the poetry or personal kind


I wonder if at end of...

I fell in love when I first peered,
Peered deep into her intentions.
She removed my blindfold,
Releasing my eyes from other people's deceptions.

Excited, no longer emotionally blind,
Or living in a daze.
I jumped for joy, intellectually free, 
Free to escape this moral maze.

I became open, brave and honest,...

I'm good at being alone.
I'm used to being alone...

But not like this- not like
I can't tell if I'm alone
Or not- as if

You have blindfolded me
In silence, then left me

In silence- I don't know 
If you are close or 
Out of reach-

Would you hear me
If I...

The hollow listens, a hum echoes
blindfolded, the fright released
taunts spill the night
in apprehension

Dust blows in off the day
a deserted island of despair

Empty, the hands circle back
inner moments of mistake
doubt delivering her blow
then bows out of sight

Left, to ponder, to wonder
why the nails never cry
with all...

It's a rare thing in life,
To come across someone,
That truly completes you.
You look into their eyes, 
And you see them-
In awe of the beauty, 
They were meant to be seen for. 
Like searching the depths of a deep dark cave, 
But even without the light,
You...

Unable to know their enemies
the wretched fought
blindfolded in a battle
their true foes forgot....

As I'm led into the darkness
An abyss of the unknown
My body starts to tingle
From my head down to my toes

The excitement of the danger
The blind leading the blind
Heightens my awareness
Of what's not far behind

I feel you start to touch me
It's like prickles down my spine
My...

I'm blindfolded
I can see nothing
I don't know how I got here
Where ever here is
I taste blood
I hear nothing
My heart racing in my chest
There is pain in my hands and legs
I feel weight on my head
Heavy weight
The pain is more severe now
I turn my head
But it...

Hello, I am 
Another piece on the board 
to be swept away;
Hello.
 
Hello, I am 
a single dreaming lonely child 
waiting to be ignored:
Again, hello. 
 
Hello, I am 
the man who has loved you 
for the entirety of his life; 
For the last time,...

Dying the slow death of political infection,
it hides within our words

As we try to run, and try to hide,
its plague a constant scourge

Poisoning the water, despoiling our thoughts,
all freedom it commands

Directing the folly, conscripting all joy
—our blindfold it demands

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)...

Too busy looking into mirrors of old 
to be present and joyous today;
Wild wind is blowing the Sun’s shining 
you’re stuck in a room with no windows;

To be present and joyous today 
take the blindfold off feel the melody;
You’re stuck in a room with no...

Going through life blindfolded
Avoiding any of my fears 
Trying to hold back the tears
From years of drifting far and near
Hoping that the best parts of life haven't disappeared

Feeling empty destination unknown
Searching far and wide for a place of my own
Never really knowing if my soul...
