Love Is Blind Poem by Afra S Mohammed

Love Is Blind

Rating: 5.0

they say, love is blind.
but I can see my love, I can see it clearly.
So i sit down and wonder...
Is love really... blind?
Or is it that we want it to be.
Is it that we are too scared to be in love that we hide it form ourselves.

Or is it that we are scared.
Scared of the horrors of love.
Scared of what it brings.
Scared of the ways love can trample our dreams.

So my question is...
Is love really blind?
Or am I just lying to myself?
My question is...
Am i scared of what it will bring.
Or am I scared that I am placing my trust in someone else.
Or is it that...
I'm scared, because I can't love myself, and I deserve my love before anyone else?

Or...
am I...
scared that...
I'm just...
not...
















Good enough...?

Go where your heart leads Afra but keep your brain alert. Love from the bottom of your heart but draw an invisible boundry for yourself. So that the impact of disappointment is less. God bless. May you find your true love.

2) you have had a different take on the matter as such. That, "love can not be seen or perceived". It is not so.

The saying "LOVE IS BLIND", as it is interpreted by many poets, signifies that when you are in love, you fail to ‘see' (take notice of) the shortcomings, blemishes etc of your lover. You tend to ‘see' only his/her virtues and overlook his vices. To that extent love makes you blind.
