A Perceptive Touch Poem by Khairul Ahsan

A Perceptive Touch

Rating: 5.0


A blind can just not only feel a touch,
S/he can also ‘see' it.
Their perception goes much deeper
Than the ones having clear eye sight.

Those having an unimpaired vision
Got to go blind
In order to ‘see' a touch,
Rather than feel it.

Silent touches speak to the ones touched.
Sometimes a touch can evoke an emotion,
Sometimes it can arouse an intention,
Sometimes it tells a story, from memory.

Those having distinct vision Got to go blind In order to ‘see' a touch Rather than feel it.- - - - - we need to blindfold ourselves and go to the mall and listen to what people are saying and in what tone of voice- -would increase our sensitivity to people. Good work!

In very simple words, the poet has described how a blind sees the world through his inner eyes.

Very true Sir. Viewing from inner eye is rewarding. So well penned. In fact in the rush of our life we have forgotten this blissful quality of life which solves almost all of our problems.

A blind person is more sensitive through his touch. Silent touches speak many more things. You have beautifully penned an amazing poem.
