Our first date
has made me nervous
I must admit.
My gentleman is a bit late
so I continue
to sit.
Oh there he is now
with an aroma
so sweet
in this timeless circle
which lovers strive
to complete.
His soft voice
caresses the strings
of love's violin.
Oh how I have waited
this long
for my heart to win.
Infinite beauty is elusive
to those
outside the light
and yet in my imagination
I yearn
for such a sight.
So I take
his humble offering
into my hand.
It's a feeling
I've never had
you must understand.
My bittersweet tears
are not
character flaws
as I assure
this doubting man
in dramatic pause.
I've led a sheltered life
where shadows
dwell.
If this is heaven with you
then I've also lived
through hell.
They say love
is another dimension
that you can see
but from my handicap
will I ever
be free?
I can only imagine
the origin
of the creative spark
although the same God
has left me
in the dark
as this color of pink
has never crossed
my mind.
For the young lady
in question
is totally blind.
