I cannot teach you to see
A Poem by TTBoy
Feel
Feel first and thirst alike
For ever changing emotions
run like waters in and out
of a natural pond
which holds living creatures
that multiply there
Setting their sights on benefitting
mankind
welcoming capture for thrill
for nourishment
Yet, not even a second of time
flashes for you to miss without
discovering how little you choose
to see
To taste conjures a new perception
of will
A palate not prejudiced by hues
of blues, browns, greens
but hunger to build a frame for a craft
taken for granted by so many fools of
lust and vanity
As this can be learned
I cannot teach you to see
Even if you are born again,
an old soul still has new eyes
Only memories covered can be
unveiled
Eyes are like windows
Though the wider the pane
the broader the spectrum
