Blinded Sheep.

Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
The weekend is here
Take a deep breath and
Relax.

 

Blinded Sheep.

 

Blinded sheep were knowingly lead.

Claiming land bankrupt of compassion and kindness.

Sharpened tongues slowly driven in.

 

Tobani June 2025.

 

Tortured Heart.

 

Anticipated climax of passion burst.

Yearn of accepted love was abruptly denied.

Tortured heart lay in pieces.

        Although at first appearing nonrelated they soon seemed to take on common properties and merged into one landscape. Nicely done Tobani

            Fascinating. I am NOT awake, have a purring kitten thinking I shouldn't be on my phone playing around and on me, and am rather baffled. If the sheep were knowingly led, then--? They claimed land... but people have done that for millennia... yet they had neither compassion nor kindness...yes, conquerors are typically ruthless... "sharpened tongues slowly driven in"--? You got me there, what's that mean? For your second, consider this: "He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. "(Ps 107:9) From our fellows, men or women, and from romantic engagements, or friendships, we may and do seek love, yet I have found no satisfaction except in the LORD.
            Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                  Hello,Tobani,

                  The last lines of each of the two poems bond perfectly bringing the two well wrought pieces together enhancing theme of despair and cruelty. Very well done indeed.

                  Fond regards,

                  Tony.

                    Two for one, nicely done. Your poem "Blinded Sheep" explores themes of suffering, betrayal, and the consequences of blind faith or trust. The "blinded sheep" symbolize individuals who follow without questioning, leading to exploitation and emotional pain. The lines about a "tortured heart" emphasize the deep emotional scars caused by unreciprocated love or betrayal.

                      I was able to identify with the sheep in some ways. I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you so much for sharing. Best regards.
