Notes About The Poem

Can You Tell Me

A father tends to his children's fears with sweet kisses while drying their tears. And his hug embraces them with love, prizing each as a gift from above. Can you tell me of a father's kiss? A lover acknowledges your past pain, supporting you as you smile again. And desire brews an erotic scent as sweat drops and sexy thoughts ferment. Can you tell me of a love like this? A child reaps the innocence of youth, a magical time of trust and truth. And laughter's heard almost every day, resounding in the echoes of play. Can you tell me of such childhood bliss? A man sees God in a starry sky, and he's no longer afraid to die. Faith doesn't require anything more than he believes; to make his soul soar. Can you tell me of truths I dismiss? (Rhyme) 6/3/2016
