[hometext] => n/a always abraham
[bodytext] => I wouldn't lie, but for this once, and then only to say that I cannot love the persistent towers of your hair that spiral down over black lapels that, like a courageous water, begin to cross the valley of your breasts. No, I wouldn’t lie, but for this once, and then only to say that I could write upon this page, the magnitude of my shame when I wake to find you weeping softly at my side. I wouldn’t lie to you, but for this one occasion, and then only to say to you that I can understand what it is to be a man and know the strength that it takes to be afraid, and that I could comprehend the suffering that hangs from the streetlights over the memories of an old age. It is not in my nature to lie, but it is for your benefit that I do so, but only this once, and then only to say that I can see the golden sea beyond these earthly shores. Then only to say that you should not cry, that you will see me again, and sail with me on those black eternal skies. No, I wouldn’t lie to you, but for this once; and then only to say that I cannot love the autumnal skies in your eyes, that with the dying day, shift into the treacherous gray of an old stone broken so long ago.

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. ©
