Beggar Blind

I write, for you, a verse a day
my heart in every line,
the quintessential ode to love,
but only in my mind.

From dark poetic thread I spin

a work of art, profound...
a whisper sweet soliloquy

that doesn't make a sound...

a sonnet to eternity

without a single word,
a lyric never written for
a ballad never heard.

My love is mute and beggar blind.

As foolish as it seems...
I write for you a song of love...
....but only in my dreams.

The blind beggar represents one who has no perception of his own capacity to love... and no confidence in himself. The sin of omission is even greater than the sin of commission.
