GUESS! BLIND, LOVE BETTER

It was not God’s wish to hide beauty

For then he would have made us all blind

Or better still scattered only garbage

Turned eyes that with hatred were lined

We wait for the rose buds to bloom

See its beauty in colours and fragrance

Do we wait to see its doom

Or bow to Almighty God in obeisance

Why cover something beautiful

And make them feel repulsive

Create a question within all

And frame answers that are impulsive

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

And not in the outer gear you got

Better remove the lust hidden in your eyes

Than pressurize the timid lot

You keep the eyes of beauties naked

But it is the eyes that always attracts

It is the eyes that do the talking

The eyes that binds hearts in contracts

And your eyes are full of lust and madness

Whereas theirs ever full of sadness

Ever in search are those eyes

To get trapped in pure romantic ties

You should have better turned all blind

And gone against God’s wish

I guess blind would have loved better

Blessed, to love souls of each other, rich

No longer would then this body be cursed

Or needs, for wounds inflected, nursed

The meaning of love would sincerely spread

All beads nicely tied in the same thread

It was not God’s wish to hide beauty

For then he would have made us all blind

Or better still scattered only garbage

Turned eyes that with hatred were lined.
