Array ( [sid] => 144165 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => window watching [time] => 2008-07-25 21:45:46 [hometext] => open for interpretation. [bodytext] => What is this fable, this moral im playing?
how can I teach who doesn't want to be taught?
I beg you to learn, be brave and try to learn,
you turn away and hide within me, protected by his walls.

Yet you're the dictator, you chose to stay,
you look from your window, and cry that you do so,
closing the curtains and retiring into the darkness,
why do you listen if you refuse to learn?

And you will stay and I will beg,
how can you think its correct when both hearts
should speak to each other and tell the truth,
when his does, mine deceives.

So now you must stop window watching,
for whats out there, you're not brave enough to grasp,
lie in your naked bed and be pure,
and bid your heart to do the same.

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. ©
