Short Blindfolds Poems

Blinded blindfolds
never sighted nevertheless
sightless eyes open...

Allow the wine to speak to me,
for it reeks of no blindfolds of deceit. 
Let it spill your hidden truths,
for it knows not to plead the fifth.

If you have not gotten to know my soul. 
Then you know nothing of my scars & my soul. 
So save the egotistical compliments to take my blindfolds off. 
They will not work....

Listen to poem:

to be fair and frank, all judges wearing ear plugs and blindfolds,
must peek undercover to see what unfolds,
to read counsel lips to discern what is said,
lest the tone of voice in what is said aloud, biases them instead....

The commonest denominator,
stepping toward the throne

His minions with their blindfolds on,
about to be disowned

The commonest denominator,
laughing at their pain

Another lie, stick in the eye
—a life of greed and shame

No blindfolds,
no winds, no
vertices and
obstacles... neither
times, and
setbacks... neither
wars, or
battles...
Nothing...
There's nothing...
 completely
nothing...
There is not
who
obstacles,
prevent
the demonstration
 the clearness
 of clarity...

The donkey brays;
the elephant trumpets,

and the herds remain unprotected
from the wolves and the jackals.

What game shall we play;
pin the tail on the Donkey 

or Elephants can't remember?
It's a barrel of monkeys 

playing let's sink the battleships
while wearing blindfolds all around.

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

Abundance of goods blindfolds you
Until you come to the graves
O yea! what you are thinking is not true
O sure! what you are thinking is not true
If you had the knowledge of the faith
You could see the inferno
You will see it with your own eyes later
Then you will be questioned about God’s favor....

Faint light
devoured by its own smoke
lost in the robust laughs

Buds wilted
yearning for a breath.
Inflicted pain by its own roots.

Sealing every tear with a smile
assaulting love with lust

sun descends 
enveloped in eternal darkness

the window blindfolds
its journey

the cries 
resonate within 
unheard
and tears glitter 
in the dying light.

seasons come and go 
faces change
Alas! you 
never  revisited....

Fixed under water glass
Like a splinter beneath Poseidon's skin
There is no Sunday
And no one knows Rhyme
With her cool hands
And her goat's feet.

There are only
Walking dead
From whose wool-lined mouths
Pour blindfolds
And broken keys
Strangle holds
And bloody knees.

Rapunzel bruised
Left for dead forgotten
Bound and gagged
By her own golden hair.
Drowning in the Valium Bath
Warm and blind
Dying slow
But unaware....

Land mirrors balaclavaed moon tonight, 
The dark blindfolds insects in drunken song, 
And censors bawdy bullfrogs’ ancient rite. 
Our starved eyes protest truant fireflies’ wrong,
As we raise high a flame of bright sarong.

Pixies may dance nude with rioting sparks,
A sleepwalking coyote somewhere barks,
While hot crackles heckle the clouds away.
We thrill to a new June the warm wind marks,
Think of the bonfire of summer at play....

The past is so distinctive and memorable
And yet I do not recall it's sentiment
The shadows of what was cloud my judgement and hopes
It's hard to peer through the blindfolds
With each removal I find another...tired!
Tired of lifting this heavy heart..these heavy burdens of my soul
Why does my soul ache?  Why does it hurt so?  Why can't I remove myself to dull the pain?
The past is easy to forgive but it does not easily forgive
These ghosts of my past will always torture me...
