Array ( [sid] => 113267 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To delude you. [time] => 2006-01-16 12:49:06 [hometext] => The title says it all methinks ^_^ always, abraham [bodytext] => Look not upon me, my love, for I am cast lowly in the presence of your sight.

I remember-in the way that one remembers a dream-the soft disgrace of night lifted above me; the moon spread her silver rain in mists upon your hair; the stars quickened their rise to kiss your soft brown eyes, and weep their light upon your black and silver hair.

So long ago we wept, when together we watched the mountains, murdered in their majesty, crumble, and fall into the desert sands.

Remembering that day, I am silent. There is nothing to say.

A thousand times I have crossed the deserts of that love,
and still my voice falls white and cold to speak that frightening name.

(I am quiet, a child. Speaking, I am a man.
In sleep I am a dream, dreaming my dreams.)

My love, pass from me this bodily love, and desire not my press against you.

We will be together soon.

...very coherent...discomfortably effective imagery...a tender, one hundred sixty-three word groan...

...in my opinion, an effective poem...one that gives direction and yet allows the reader sufficient wiggle room to apply it to their own situation...

...thanks...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
