Blindness Over Heart

He was a thoughtful man
Who loved with pure of heart.
A man who gave his soul
Yet cursed the common fates
Which made him blind for love.
For as much as he cried,
Reaching towards the night sky...
He never knew the wonder
Or strength of his open mind.
So he grasped his heart with agony,
Closed his ears to the world around;
In which he couldn't hear the blessings
Of streets filled with children laughter
Or the lovers' sighs of mutual standing.
So he fought himself and everyone around
Never listening to destiny's clues,
Closing his eyes to life's miracles,
Hiding his mind from penetrating thoughts...
Just wishing he could finally fade.
Lifting his completed soul to the heavens,
He never learned of the love which was given.
As much as he ran he will never say goodbye,
For the guardian who will never walk away
Is always just a few steps behind.

such is the fate of many many men, culture drenched, testosterone soaked; some, a few make their way back into the world of hearts...as always, brilliantly done...

OK so the genius who wrote this just reviewed my writing, well I have to say I feel incredibly honoured. This is a magnificent write, through and through. So many wonderful lines, I wish I could pick a favourite. I will simply read this one over and over and over again. Stunning!!
