Better Be Blind Poem by DrTP Sasikumar

It was a rich experience

Of total blindness,

We held each other's hand

So tight when in love,

Afraid of losing the other

Isolated in a world of our own

We had eyes only for each other…


In a world of dreams

We lived blissfully…


Marriage gifted me

A different experience,

Real life came in its turn

The family grew in size,

I needed to be out alone

To have my life in place

Now I learnt the supreme truth…


Love was blind

Marriage an eye opener…


Get married…

Close your eyes…

Love the spouse…

Better be blind!
