City Of Thoughts Poem by Dermott Hayes

City of Thoughts

In my mind
the world is
a city of thoughts
where I wander
undisturbed,
window shop
in a world of words,
sightsee cityscapes
of thoughtful wonder,
feast in restaurants
of Epicurian splendour
and drink in bars
with bottomless glasses,
wine that is the nectar
Of Creation

but no- one talks
no-one listens
nobody sees
the thoughtful pavements
or wanders
with me
in the avenues of wonder,
like the blind poet
singing songs
for the deaf
