Blind man and the Sun

I see a blind man gazing at the sun,

he thinks it’s alright to perceive the latent burn;

Crowded corpuscles enter his eye,

to blister the retina which was already in fry.

His vision is impaired, he sees nothing,

so he feels no difference in the new offering;

Alas! he closes his eye at the sunset,

to reflect on the heat and interpret;

he feels euphoric, he feels numb,

he feels the warmth at the tip of his  thumb.

Albeit, he takes a deep breath and falls asleep,

he dreams through the night on an exuberant grief;

he wakes up in the morning to realize the past,

to feel the bloody cheek with a maroon cast.

He ponders again and again to know the real cause,

but his cerebra has gone to a comfortable pause.

Memory at loss and blood on his hand,

he feels the death, and can’t withstand.

Neither can he think nor can he blink,

he feels as a vessel destined to sink;

One last time he steps out of the door,

to gaze at the sun, with a strange furore.

One tiny ray hits his burnt eye,

his dangling soul is all set to fly…
