Going through life with blinders
causes great sorrow within  
the beauty seen with our eyes,
a glimpse of Heaven...

God carved him from his finest cloth.
He gave and gave.
They drank his broth.
Most unaware of what was given,
with blinders on they kept on living....

The thirst for power
And control has change
The country, the rules and 
The rule book has been
Thrown out of the window
Now the blinders are off

Stepping off the ledge,
out of the fog
—I cast my fate

As time again dared,
all blinders off
—the hour late

Stepping off the edge
  and into the fog,
  —I cast my fate

As time then dared
  all blinders off,

quite tears  unnoticed
eggshells  crack under my feet
purple, black bruises

nagging guilt blinders 
never-ending  loneliness  
fantasy love  bond

A beautiful girl is a symphony by Brahms
A melody by Mozart that will calm
A sweet reminder
Even with blinders
Between us, there is no such thing as a wall...

   Hurtling up steps
     scaling the heights
   Steaming ever onward
     no end in sight

   Remove the blinders
     dear friend, anticipate
   each moment ~
                   ere it alights

No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates

With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

If you do not remember this granny squared poncho
Then you are a poser
And you never lived in the seventies
Or you never crocheted
Or you lived the seventies with blinders on
And a mop bucket upside down over your eyes...

Shallow individuals
Hollow minds
Tough fronts
Do as I say, not as I do
Hearts of ice
Exponential drama
Walking thru life with blinders on
Militant policy
Lose, lose environment
Finger pointing
No accountability

Average workplace?...

Shake off the blinders
Shatter your shameful shackles 
Shape your destiny
I see dreams thirst for freedom
And a soul plead for release

This cold scheduled grey life 
Has me so on point and on task
The tunnel vision is nauseating 
The horse blinders debilitating 
Want for what, wish for who 
An existence built to hypnotize
Time coerced me into being  
Unapologetically institutionalized

See no truth,
Hear no truth,
Speak no truth.
Follow the leader.
Don’t look to either side
Or you might see
In the mirror
Of your own making
Your cowardice,
distortions, self-absorption,
lies, and poor judgment.
Keep the blinders on.
Follow the leader
over the cliff....

I rode a painful trail,
because not doing so curtailed

Biting hard on Areion’s bit,
all else in life assailed

With blinders on I forged ahead,
whose route my will complied

Its ledges steep, all fear below
—my destiny astride

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)...

The lighting, it was over-bright
Yet, undisturbed was the darkness.
Hanging from rafters high above
Lurking in corners, still unseen.
The Lighting now, ever so pure
Waited for this soul's remarkness,
"I cannot see...I cannot see...
Oh Lord, take the blinders from me" !

There is a place that I can hide in...
Its a world that holds past sins...

With walls that let me scream...
With no doors that close on dreams...

Where judgement comes from the heart...
With no blinders to slow my start...

A safe place I can step in and out of...
Where mistakes die, and there's only love......

The sharpest sight may blind become
All prejudice left behind
When wisdom's tongue becomes dumb
No mercy shall we find

Justice too does sometimes peak from
'round her tattered blinders
When scales are tipped, she then cries out
As freedom slowly binds her

walking my eyes
with her legs
finding paradise
is shaved
shaded by
shades worn
and blinders
on both sides

i find by reading
the braille bumps
of your breasts
pezones express
so much then much
much more of
what i can
digest

but wonder of
the greatest
success of
the one who
thought of
selling sun
glasses to
the blind...

On my last nerve 
Lately everything 
You say and do gets
On my last nerve 
Why is is now starting 
To bug me so the way 
You are used to not 
Even chare how you 
Acted used to not 
Even recognise how 
Much of a complainer
You were but not its 
As if the blinders are 
Off and I realize everything 
That I used to be able 
To ignore...

Frantic hours; stumbling around in the dark...
Ignoring gentle whispers in your stubborn ears...
A coward; surrendered.. Cornered by your fears...
Always longing for the ocean, or some quaint memory...
With blinders firmly attached, seeing what you wanted to see...
But you cried out to me one fateful night...
And through your tears, you finally found your light......

You look so beautiful
So angelic
So majestic
I could never take that away from you
So I may as well stop trying

You look so beautiful
So perfect
So pure
But you don't think of yourself this way
None of us think of ourselves this way

You look so beautiful
So radiant
So free
Just take the blinders off your eyes
And see how close we truly are

To each other...
