I was born blind <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet I sense things <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an unusual intensity <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That I cannot really explain <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that my wife is beautiful <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I will never see her <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not for a second <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will die blind <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darkness into Darkness <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have yet to come to terms with that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each morning I touch the contours of her face <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And rediscover her beauty  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my Erotic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is my friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My guide and my companion <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met him after the war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And thought him lucky <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he had not witnessed anything <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had heard the war<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasted the war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And touched the war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he had not seen the war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because of that I was jealous of him <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so tired of the war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had drained me completely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had once told me that\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

War was Kind <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it had brought us together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I know that to be untrue <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I had lied to him <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first met<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told him that I was wearing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Blue Shirt <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in fact I was wearing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Red Shirt <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was my first lie <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
