    Poem Commentary

    Ever had a fantasy about someone?

    Why am I so in love?

    Why am I so in love?
    I don't even know you.

    One look in your eyes and I feel
    Like I've seen through the windows of your soul.

    All I have is a faint dream
    So blurry yet so vivid.

    I hope you feel the same
    But how could I ever know
    I don't even know you.

    And you don't know me at all.
    I fear you never will.
    And this will be another ghost
    Forever lingering
    Haunting me about what could have been
    But will never be.
    It just can't happen.
    Because you exist in my reality
    As nothing more than a blurred vision
    A quaint idea
    And if I were to but say a word
    All of it would crumble down around me
    And I would be left with a real live person
    Heart beating and all
    And I'd wonder why I ever was so bewitched by this
    Human being
    So blunt and ordinary
    So clear to see
    Nothing like he was in my dreams.
    And my fairytale prince
    Of whom I dreamed and craved
    Will be lost forever
    Being dispersed like dust into the air.

    Why am I so in love?
    I  don't even know you.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
