BLINDED THOUGHTS



Blinded thoughts, seen but misunderstood

Rushed by sight, crushed into the mind

Flushed in emotions but brushed by doggedness

Chained with passion depicted



Depicted thoughts unseen, foreseen pictures fought

Wrought in the struggles, green with drought

Caught by imperfections unforeseen



The flame for success, a passion’ aim claim’d for direction at home

But the botch’ scare abroad, the recess from failure beacons

Home memory drain’ into oblivion

Abroad the clairvoyance rain into obtrusion



Water deep in the ocean, horn beep from the steering

Dreams steered into the sky, flying colours climaxing

Success peaked, a swift flip

The Cry fall down like a quake beneath the earth



Earth, clothed as warm as a shirt over the body

The body warmth unprotected by the earth without ozone

The sun melted by the coldness of the fire

Burns, frozen with no ice



Early into the night, late into the morning

Time, a reflection fight against failure

But bright the success plights all day



Dreams, the cream to passion

A rub on the mind for its freshness

Like the anxiety for a prey by a cub

A predator’s reality made a pub
