Blind Dissatisfaction

"Thou whose eyes unopened and unable to see

Still finds his one love, oh how can it be?"

"No need for these eyes when you have an open heart

Unfurled sight is what keeps two loves apart"

"Thou blind one, how did it come to be?

Two in one love, please explain this to me"

"Oh dear friend, to me, my love came

Heart encased in sorrow's ice, melted by her flame"

"Thou one whose heart is as open as the sea,

How tender the love held by you and she?"

"Our love, I hold, like her soft, gentle hand

Intwined together, as is grass to the land"

"Thou deafened one who chooses only to see,

How much quality in the love, held by the hands of thee?"

"My love comes and goes like a migrating dove

How can I change to unsatisfaction of my love?"

"Thou one with no sight can show you to be

As loyal, caring, and loving as he

So learn to use your heart over eyes

Or else each love after the next is bound to capsize."
