Can lovers blind to their beloved’s face <br />With eyes that cannot see still love as deep <br />As those with eyes that see the human race <br />Yet close them when they love, as if asleep? <br /> <br />Can lovers blind love those they’ve never seen <br />But voices heard and other senses known <br />Yet feel in darkness as in light, serene, <br />That passion in their blindness love had grown? <br /> <br />Can lovers blind still see what those with sight <br />Too blind to see within their lover’s heart <br />Refuse to see, that love in dark or light <br />Cannot hold lovers true to love apart? <br /> <br />Blind lovers love more so than lovers do <br />Who swear seen blindly that their love is true.<br /><br />Lorenzo Costigliolo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-sight-unseen-sonnet-33/
