Give me your ears
let me tell you a secret
that will trigger your senses
enlighten your thoughts
arouse your appetite
and open your eyes.
Give me your eyes
let me remove the speck
that prevents you
from seeing paradise
wide and clear;
thereby corrupting your mind.
Give me your mind
let me format its memory
roll back the errors
reload a secret
through your ears
and unleash your eyes to paradise.

Interesting take, crafted well, love the line of formatting the memory banks… to allow the presence of the paradise explored.

I don’t think we’ve ‘met’ before. Writer’s Island is a great place for inspiration and for meeting new friends. I love your poem, the way you have used a modicum of rhyme and assonance to make it sparkle, and the thought behind it.
I don’t think we’ve met either but meeting you is equally great. I am new to the Island but already having much fun…Thanks for the compliments and I’m glad you enjoyed the poem…Cheers!
