Array ( [sid] => 17536 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Dear Soul, I Read Your Poem [time] => 2003-05-14 05:05:00 [hometext] => This poem is in homage to those hurt, angry women and girls who make me ashamed of being male. I wrote this in 6 minutes but no insult is intended to those who endured such horrors for years [bodytext] => Dear soul, I read your poem
And turned away.
Disbelieving what I had just read,
Fearing that I could not stand the pain
Of what I knew was truth.

Next day I read again
The horrors of
Your numbing childhood's loneliness,
When those who should have loved without desire
Destroyed an unborn soul

Oh! Woman! Girl! Child!
I am a man..
A father, husband, lover and a friend.
One thiing is sure - and this I swear is true.
Without desire - I love and care for you.

Dear soul, I read your poem
And turned away.
Disbelieving what I had just read,
Fearing that I could not stand the pain
Of what I knew was truth.

Next day I read again
The horrors of
Your numbing childhood's loneliness,
When those who should have loved without desire
Destroyed an unborn soul

Oh! Woman! Girl! Child!
I am a man..
A father, husband, lover and a friend.
One thiing is sure - and this I swear is true.
Without desire - I love and care for you.

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. ©
