UNSEEN BEAUTY
I know you're blind,
that you can't see.
Take my hand,
walk with me.

Over green grass,
under a sky of blue.
I know these colours
mean nothing to you.
I wish you could
smell colours.

Fold your hands
as if in prayer.
Open the tips
There's a flower there.

Spread your arms,
imagine these,
layer on layer
create the trees.

Touch the trunk,
feel its size
spreading leafy branches
to touch the sky.
I wish you could see trees.

I think all see the beauty...it's whether it can survive the hurt is the question.

Beauty unseen, doubtful.
When things meant more to one than the other
When things become unloving, and shoutful
When the hurt leaves an unkind smother.

All is not what it seems,
No it's not always.
Maybe one saw love, and hopes, and dreams.
The other just saw it as frolic, and play.

Dalliance? There's not a chance
When the heart was real, and could feel
One saw it as more than an eyes glance.
The other wanted a lifes dance.

So please don't criticize
Try to see through others eyes
What one thinks is just play day
Means the world to the other in every thing the other had to say.

Cusick... sometimes things aren't always what it seems...give the other people, or person you are writing about another look at what they feel. I don't know your situation, but what one sees as dalliance as you had mentioned in another poem may not have been what that person saw in it at all. What seems the frolic of one may be the world to the other.

Thank you for the reply.. Dalliance in the other poem was what threw me. I went to the dictionary and looked at the definition so I thought they were kind of part of the other. My mistake. Just human. We do make them. I apologize.

Sharron You were mistaken about my poem so there is no need to apologise. I can't think what you mean about the other poem . If you knew me I am a very tollerant person and think that everyone should live there life as best they can without bigotry. Maggie

this person is very lucky to have you describing things for him/her. And it is really good that you are translating this beauty from images to words- a true poet!
