"Blind Date"

An Open Verse Poem:

No eyes, no sight.

A blind date tonight.

A date with a man I’ve never met;

time to move on, time to forget.

The man I once married

is now dead and buried.

He was the love of all my days.

Our romance was all the craze.

Now, to find love again I must

give into a friend’s good trust.

I cannot see the man before me.

But his smell draws me in like a bee.

We sit at a table with chairs.

I can’t tell if he looks or stares.

We dine on our food and wine.

He tells me that I look fine.

I tell him I cannot see a thing.

He says don’t worry; I’ll give you wings.

I love my husband in the ground,

But new love I might have found.

He walks me home to my door

not knowing what’s in store.

He kisses my cheek and says goodbye.

I stand there in awe with no reply.

I can hear his car door close,

And a feeling of joy arose.

I find the door handle and walk right in.

I go to bed and think what could have been.

What if my friend hadn’t set this blind date?

Would I still be in a depressed state?

A blind date tonight.

No eyes, no sight.

Everything is alright.
