"unblind" poems
Life lessons - left unlearned
Our compulsion to stare at the sun - leaves eyes burned
Victory through union and acceptance - easily gained.
Escaping loneliness and its crimson stain

The acid that runs cold through my veins
wishes that it just rains and rains,
to wash away my darkest pains
and cleanse me 'til nothing remains.
Playing evil with my deepest fears,
tapping my strings all these years,
the truth unblind at last appears,
nothing is worth the salt of my tears.
Deep within my soul slowly breaks,
the toll that this reality fire takes
has scarred me with fantasy flakes,
and scorched me with so many mistakes.

Her love for you isn’t real.
No, no, it just can’t be real.
For it is circumstantial, biased, and shallow.
Her lips twitch when she says the words:
“I love you for you
Not your money, your car, your biceps or your security.
I love you blindly”
She said with eyes wide open.

The great beauty of life
All the error and strife
All the sadness cast
When love doesn't last
When your torn and shred
Left gutted and bled
Solitude and misery
No longer your enemy
Cry let it out
Scream rage and shout
Then open your eyes
Relax and realize
Life isn't ending
Merely transcending
When the self pity and weeping
And the emotional reaping
Finally stop and unblind you
A new love will find you
And gloriously bind you

Soft
but still my loft.
You aren't rough
and tough
inherently-
but you can be.
Not for me only, you care
but for four you despair.
In this tournament of juggling
no one knew you were struggling.
How can you be so gentle
when the world treats you like a rental?
This makes me cry.
A heart so grand must never die.
I had a glimpse of uphill
shattered by your will.
I only knew something was wrong
'cause your stubble was a little long.
I peeked 'round the corner.
You didn't notice me- your daughter.
Your face was taught with wretched thoughts
but relaxed into love when I got caught.
You were trapped in your minds corner
where -no longer- it was a little warmer
The clouds looked like they hadn't been washed in a while.
But you still smiled.
When you say you admire another
for their unique kind of thunder-
I try to unblind you-
see: Only you can turn the sky cove blue
after a hurricane Sandy
makes my life feel unhandy.
You never ask if I Love you
cuz' you know I simply do.
I finally know why you're so rad-
cuz' you're sent from above, Dad.

Desperate and lonely
you need someone for holding
but that's not how you know me
so you just call me homie
when looking for comforting company
to give aid to your conforming country
then you just start hatefully hunting
to prove you are... something.
You say get in the whip
like you're cool and you're hip
you sound like a **** that is dip
but I need your script in my wrist
so I hop in your motor vehicle
hoping for a hopeless miracle
that you'll stop acting satirical
and break out that bag that is spherical.
That shot must've not sat right
you've been looking for a fight
all narcotic night
your sardonic sight
has been on pointed humor to get me annoyed
but I don't feel like Robert Downey Jr. or Pink Floyd
when you interrupt my ****** stupor to argue like boys
I just want to be a user drama devoid.
You spit and stunt
telling me if I don't roll the blunt
I can get the **** out of your car
I ask why you're acting hard
is it emotional scars?
Or Xanax bars?
This planet's marred
with cancer hearts
you play your part
by trying to act cool
thus making the world colder
you look like a piece of stool
but think you're a soldier.
My shoulders shrug high
saying I don't want to be Drug Guy
so there's no need to be unkind
we can talk about this sometime
once you're unblind
but until then
see not me
with your peacocking
you seem cocky
but scream softly.
You call me a *****
I say try me and you'll see
it'll only be fueling
an endless cycle of dueling
but you want to be the crazy one
so your choices are hazy ones
and your ideas lazy ones
like playing nun
for gaming funds
then regarding yourself as a mature man
everyone can smell your manure ****

Your deceitful words and actions will forever be in my mind.
They hurt like hell but thank to them i stand unblind
And realize with pain, that you were never mine
You ask for a forgivness i can never give,
Despite how much our voices we crave
with that we shall ever live.
You left me with a fear i've never felt,
Your pain made me forget how i used to melt
in your gaze, but now my heart for peace only prays...

this mourning time is here again
shadowed sun rise pale clouds
signals night end once more undone
finds me breathless and moribund
I told you once, twice thrice and four
to shut it tight behind the door
you kicked it open to defy
the rules all broken so here I lie
moribund
glee and wild abandon in your cries
to tie to bind then unbind my sighs
abd blind then unblind my eyes
on edge ledged I teeter moribund
was it good I yield it was understood
but still deceit lies underfoot
pinned at the knees the heart fecund
yet souls entwined do find me moribund
you danced in from the leftist side
all your defiance I did abide
whence in my arms you at last did cry
and felt myself moribund
step back once, twice thrice and four
now remember said shut that door
if kicked again it breaks no bend
and death replaces moribund.

Up and down the slide,
it’s really a short ride,
I try to have drive,
I am still alive,
I continue to strive,
I have reached the ground unblind,
I am going back up the ladder,
wonder if I’ll feel the same after.
Every trip down the slide,
every second on the swing,
every time I touch the ground after the firepole
or twirl a ring.
I play this game alone,
see who else comes along,
I go up and down the slide,
not doing anything
wrong.

In your face like empty space
Attitude all over the place
Tough as nails, an’ soft as grace
One of four an’ four of one
A killer voice, second to none
That’s how to get your slaying done
Imagine what it feels to be
Something that can set you free
Unblind your eyes an’ let you see
Right out front with that voice
Enslaved our soul in hellish choice
Of rebellion and some sweet rejoice
We left him dying in the street
Buried by fame for all to greet
Crucified in stone at our feet
He is gone, but his song remains
Forever heard in the soul’s refrains
Freedom sings in breaking chains.

Lure me into the depths of the sea
Let me see the blood that will shimer in the waters.
Tempt me to drown. Drown forever.
I don't see the hope for the world!
I don't see lights! So dark!
If only if someone would unblind me...
If only I could see the lights...
UNBLIND ME FROM THIS CLOTH THAT COVERS MY EYE
Despair! Despair!
Oh...
Lure me into the depths of the sea...
Let me see the blood...
Me drowning...
Forever!....
