Love Poem: Blindness and Caprice

Blindness and Caprice

So wise was God to hide
your eyes from my eyes.
My delight was cast aside
then I asked to him why.
 
He gave me only silence
and the stars in the sky.
Night shines the absence
that aches during the day.
 
I didn’t reach you near,
waiting me by the lake
But learnt to win the fear
to lose your heart’s sake.
 
Love is blind like Justice
heightened by caprice.
