Love Is Blind & The 7 Year Itch Poem by Lee Boueri

Love Is Blind & The 7 Year Itch

Rating: ★5.0


Love is blind
.
22
Where is the line
We saw no divide
Two bodies joined
Two souls divine
Love welled inside
Heart and mind
Love is blind
.
29
Husband and wife
Now balancing life
Bills pile up,
untangling minds
Emotions balanced on the edge of a knife.
As clocks unwind
Days become years
Love can be blind
.
36
Lipstick collar and broken vows
We agreed it's fixed
But we were wrong
Unresolved?
Never mind
Love needs you blind
.
43
Morning sun
In separate rooms
That great mistake
Ignoring clues
Life's redefined
There's pain inside
Love has been blind
.
50
Splits agreed,
But hate breeds greed
Revenge in deed
Is love in need:
A lawyer to feed
Money to find
Lawyers know
Love is blind

Yes, love is certainly blind, but spiritual love is stronger and more successful. This poem reminded me of Lorca when he said: But like love the archers are blind well done and 5 stars for this lovely poignant poem

Great poem. Am sorry it ended in divorce but sometimes for peace of mind for both parties. Best of luck
