I, Too, Am A Blind Dreamer Poem by Jackson Riley

I, Too, Am A Blind Dreamer

Rating: 5.0


a friend of mine
asked me what my dream girl would look like.
well, Mel,

what do you think
a blind child sees
when he dreams of a shooting star
scarring the black night’s face like a tear
from the iris of some
gimcrack moon?

the specter of a sunshower
filtered through fog and my raindropped window
and my closed, slumbersome eyes.

Philosophical. Complicated. But I don't think you're a blind dreamer, you'rea very good dreamer actually, if your dream girl would look like that. Must be the most beautiful woman in the world! (Gave it a 10!)

Experience is something that you don't get until just after you need it. You make a good point here. Trying to imagine what you've never known is a bit on the fantastic side. Well done.

I think blind dreaming goes with the tortured soul of a poet, quite naturally Jack. Ask a silly question, Mel got a poetically typical answer. You are a true poet. 10 from Tai
