Like eyes
i surmize
With evidence
and common sense
That many hearts lack 20/20 vision
Evidenced in many a faulty love decision
In need of contact lenses or glasses
Hearts turn their owners into *****
They never even clearly see
While sitting 'neath the loving tree
That by the rules in the lover's book
They're cruising again to be totally took
On a blind ride out into space
On a bonafide super rat's race
As their hearts lead them on and into
The lover's equivalent of an episode of Mr. Magoo
But as hard as you try to aid them
oftimes just gettting out da way is best, this you'll find
Because it's hard and sometimes impossible
to reach a person in love who is following a heart that's nearsighted, myopic or blind
 
it's like I had tunnel vision
focusing on only one thing
til the collision
couldn't see disaster coming
but it was my decision
and thereafter, fronting
believing I'm living a dream
a fantasy, loving a king
in retrospect I come to find
it was illusion, truly I'm blind
like Stevie,see ribbons in the sky
but they don't see me
maybe I must protect myself
respect myself, never neglect myself
for anyone, any reason
and I mean none
perhaps after the healing season
then this Moon will find her Sun...

oooo rasheed I am diggin you like a well cuz you way too deep, I ask you humbly to seep some of that nourishment back 2 me, like 360, you flow like ocean's tide, continue on in your mission of scribe, I'll buy a surfboard and catch a ride...One
