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
That fine divide
That swinging tide
I missed the signs
As love welled inside
Heart and mind
Love is blind
.
29
Husband and wife
Caught up with life
bills pile up
avoiding strife
Kids to cart
Emotions rife
on the edge of a knife
as clocks unwind
Love is blind
.
36
Broken vows
time rolls on
Fix things now
But we were wrong
Unresolved
Never mind
Everyone knows
Love is blind
.
43
One day we wake
In separate rooms
The great mistake
singing separate tunes
life redefined
That pain inside
Love is blind
.
50
Splits agreed
But hate breeds greed
Revenge indeed
is love in need
A Lawyer to feed
money to find
Love sure 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
