Blinded until now

January 12th, 2005 admin Posted in Poetry |

Never have I seen it,
never will I too,
taken aback by how long,
I took before I knew.

Only quick glimpses in the passing,
or conscious visions could I afford,
in tentative mirrored reflections
and photographs impliably cold.

On how it is to know me,
I distantly do divine,
a fresh introspection,
as your eyes look into mine.

True good and bad in me I find,
in your honest gaze,
Through you I fathom meeting my person
and seeing my true face.
