Love is Blind

In shadows' play, eyes deceive,
Touch becomes the sight we weave.
Blind, yet vivid, love's design,
Tracing paths no eyes define.

In silence, hearts converse, reveal,
A language eyes cannot unseal.
Blindfolded trust, in leaps entwined,
Where vision fades, love’s sight refined.

In the absence of light, feelings grow,
Blind, yet clear, as true hearts show.
Emotions deep, in darkness find,
A love so blind, yet not confined.
