-If I Were Blind- If I had just one glass eye, I'd see you here in me -- and just because both eyes are real, I'll tell you what i see. I see a man who's sensitivity arouses pleasure. I see a man who I would like to give love, double-measure. I see a man who's heart is opened to my tender hand. I see a man who's mind and soul I want to understand. If I were blind it wouldn't matter, I would still see you. I'd see you in the words you say And all the things you do. I'd see you in the warmth of summer, See you in the fall, And, seeing you there in my heart Is always best of all. The blind man heard her words of love, An echo in his mind Of peace and love and happiness He thought he'd never find. He looked through shadows darkly Prayed to God to find the might To make his love appear before Two eyes now filled with sight The blind man thought he saw her But perhaps she was a dream. The blind man loved his vision but He wandered on the seam Of destiny and circumstance While trying to see through The depths of souls enmeshing While the world was out of view. The blind man was so loved by her She'd take his cup and cane And lead him to the ecstasy Far past the dark refrain. (c) 2000 Michael Mack & Doreen Peri |

Michael and Doreen, eye, eye, I agree with the others. A blind man could see the wonder in this seamless piece. Write on Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

You two are something else, and it's my pleasure to read you! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

uh oh! seems i almost missed my thank-yous! sorry, i was out fishing and almost got pulled in by this very big fish! you should have seen the one that got away! but i'm here now!  so, now that i'm back, i just dropped by to thank all you wonderful poetpeople for your generous comments. if i were blind, i woulda missed this this one as it sunk all the way to page 3! thanks to everyone for reading and thanks again, Michael, for writing a few with me - it's been a wonderful experience with you - all you can ever really ask out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry - |
