[hometext] => Too painful not to write, I had to get it out. For those of you who know who my Raphael is (you can read about him in my other postings), he passed this morning. It seems only fitting that I immortalize our last moments in words. He'd want it that way.
[bodytext] => I left you there standing at the door of your house in the Castro thinking it would be the last time I would see you alive I remember looking back at you and noticing how much the purple of your house reminded me of the bruise on your thigh Little by little thoughts of you are dying and I know that you have come home to finally let go I wouldn't let you kiss me goodbye too angry at myself for believing you Your lips seemed anathema then and now are cold with your disease How I wish we could regain those lost and broken years when we cut eachother with words and I left you that first time shouting "I will have truth in my life!" Your favorite nurse comes in after her shift and we sit and watch midnight TV and laugh at the British comedy in the background. She leaves I crawl in bed beside you careful of the wounds on your body and I hold you, tears mingling with my own "I know you're scared" "Yes, I love you" The steady beep of your heart monitor reassures me that I'll see you tomorrow and I cradle your body Drifting in and out of sleep I wake up often to find you breathing my racing heart calms slightly and I wipe the sweat from your brow "I love you" words are whispered hoping they'll reach your dreams I let sleep take me my mind wanders to our youth when you were my Raphael You held such wonder then eyes like the star for which you were named I know you've come home to die [comments] => 3 [counter] => 257 [topic] => 39 [informant] => Blu [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

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. ©
