Loveblind

Once there lived
A boy and girl
Who played in deep canyons
And climbed tall spires
Flew across bridges and mountains and plains
And took turns dancing
On the palms of each other's hands

She hid in his mind
And he in her heart
Life was furiously passionate
Truly a fairy tale

Those people don't exist anymore
Souls twain with soft hands and hearts
They only existed
In the realm of the loveblind
Where spirits hide behind
Love of unknown strength
That can make everything beautiful

But when some of the love
Slipped
Away
To grace another heart
The two vanished
From the realm of the loveblind

And they can't get back
Though they wish they could
Somehow they must find
A new path to loveblind
Or give their hands to truth
Or acknowledge that they've
Given up
For good.
