Desert Blindness
sand blistering hot
throat parched I need water
ah an oasis
where could it have went
it just upped and disappeared
it was a mirage

God's Gifts
With God’s presence all around me,
Yet His gift is missed.
Unknown by many who surround,
Their blindness fills my heart with sadness.
For disbelief clouds what is clear,
How could they fail to see?
His omnipresence, bright and pure,
Hidden in the shadow of doubt.
His grace, a gift they

If I Were Blind
I wish I were blind,
at least I would hear,
smell,
and feel the world more deeply.
Evil and violence
would not be seen by me.
They say that what the eyes don’t see,
the heart doesn’t feel.
I would have more peace if I were blind,
because I would never see war.
I would choose a true woman,
not based on her physical beauty,
but on

Echoes of Blindness
I grew up blind
The kind that fades away with the gaping eye of knowledge
word on the tip of every patriotic tongue was independence
Little did my shut brain know, sham was a better word for it
The physicality was removed, that is certain
But ideas and creeds are still sung, venerating them
It’s as if our souls were trained

Reflections Laugh At Our Blindness
Reflections Laugh At Our Blindness
She cool love's great fever
In with shades of true hope
What slides with whisperings
From the quiet edge of dreams
Therein she seeks to know
Secrets life has yet to reveal
Truth deeper that beauty's shine
Or sexy maiden's perfections
That which holds wanton desires
Or mysteries told around campfires
In her heart rests more love
But to whom, nobody knows
In

A Fore Gone Conclusion
to you
my life became a foregone conclusion
did you truly believe
that my failure was certain?
a pre-determined path I was meant to follow
Was I nothing more to you than a character
in a sad tale?
Did you truly know me?
that you could predict
what a challenged life
would mean for me
invisible
overlooked
and just as easily tossed away
You seemed to have won
as the

Love Blindness
LOVE BLINDNESS
By Tapiwa N. Maseko
It is really true
That love is blind
Because there is no clue
Used to bind
Two hearts and not three
Into one good bond
That makes the most eluded
To be the most wanted
The one with defect
To look so perfect
Yes there is no clue, rather than blindness
Of great love
Something peculiar
