Best Blindest Poems

"Open Your Eyes"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

In my quest to find the Light
I found so many things hidden in plain sight
A simple question of why is what I asked of Christ
He Said "He Who Searches For Me Will Be Found By Him Who Denies Life
But...

Blind...with the beauty and symmetry of nature
                          Can't espy the astonishing and sedate scenes of ardor

I only be looking down now, looking inside myself now,
not head set in defeat but reflection, not the thoughts but the actual events that happened, wild flower child, yea right boom boy im a power plant, a quater-back serving audibles, wide-receivers run em in slants,...

Blind...with the beauty and symmetry of nature
Can't espy the astonishing and sedate scenes of ardour
Just living with the greatest and blindest darkness
Imageless and almost senseless...

Deaf...with the mellifluous and profound music of amity
Can't harken the serene and blithe tune of natural creativity
Just living with my own...

Revelation in its plainest form,
Glory revealed before the naked eyes;
To whom is this understanding granted?
Oh behold Him on the mount of holiness—
Oh behold the transfigured Christ!

A brightness beyond the sun's compare,
Yet visible to the eyes of the beloved;
Of them that are born of a woman,
None...

based on Elihu Burritt’s “Christmas in Germany” (c. 1850)

You find a hand-built chapel among small homes
constructed by children. But what children – 
vicious young ne’er-do-wells from a Dickens novel, 
pickpockets and worse; if not murderers, at least

boys handy with cudgel or knife; petty thieves;
girls just...

Under the shadow
Of your past mistakes, you live
And the way you perceive 
Life is itself a deceive 
For there is more to life 
Than occupying space and time
You think you live life to the fullest 
But you are the most clueless 
And blindest

Get a life...

Sometimes we live our lives
To prove our critics wrong;
Sometimes we go far too far
To be where we do not belong.
Sometimes we play the fool
That peace might fairly reign;
Sometimes we opt too soon
For baseless choices not sane.
Sometimes we fake a smile
And appear as someone nice;
Sometimes we...

Men of affairs, scientists, gentlemen collectors,
researchers, technicians, plankton detectors.
Ladies, when permitted, provided manful help
Wading shorelines intrepidly for variegated kelp.

Be-whiskered men off charted shores 
their Science to be applied. 
From blindest depths defy stern jaws 
to reveal a great divide. 
Thus predate all faith - shift...

“Darkness it is only darkness
‘Blind’ why were you born to live?
Why don’t you be murdered?
You were beaten into a sheet of invisibility
Of  black and only black
You are the wall between the colour and the colourless
Why were you born?
In some angry whispers the gods stabbed...

    Frantic movement and commotion
       Fist-pumping, foot-stomping emotion

    Slogans shouted, cheers abide
       Endless cheers of ‘He’s our guy!’

    Music blares, eager midriffs bared

The rising star

I see myself
siting on a giant's shoulder
like a striving soldier

I am so built that
I could not only get the brightest view
which is open to only few

But as well
I could also fly, 
no, not like a fly

But like an eagle
I soar,  even in...

Can men fight without symbols
  where victory calls beyond love and hate

Can men die without symbols
  or reason conquer the blindest faith
