A Sight Well Worth Going Blind For

A Sight Well Worth Going Blind For

 

The day began with a fragrance

that reminded me of you

as it drifted in from somewhere

   outside in the garden ..

And for a moment then, maybe

even two, I dare not

   move, nor open either eye ..

Through fear of frightening you

   away again, my darling ..

But then came the touch and the

aftertaste so many

warriors and lovers have each

   chosen to die for ..

When you appear naked like that

at the foot of their beds

  tis a sight well worth, going blind for ..
