Once there was a man
Who cried until his death.
He drowned in tears
And washed away
Until nothing was left.
He filled the world
While whippoorwills
Chirped and were befeft.
The tears he cried were not enough
To show just where he stood.
When they were gone,
He carried on,
And cried out tears of blood.
He cried until his bones were dry
Yet soaked the whole way through.
He cried until his will was broke,
And poisoned his worldview.
He cried until the ocean king
Was drowned and overthrew,
And claimed himself the seaman’s crown
And cooked albatross stew.
He cried for stupid sinners
And he cried for phallic saints.
He cried for whimsy’s wishes
And his blood was Martian paint.
He cried for man’s downfalling
And he cried for man’s downfell.
He cried for those in heaven
While he cried for those in hell.
He cried into convulsions
until he destroyed himself.
He cried away the Reason
And he cried away the wealth.
He cried because of beauty
And the greatness he had seen.
He cried while in God’s presence,
and he cried with ghosts unseen.
A sight so vastly holy
That he cried away the world…
That is what I picture
when I think of you, my girl.

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. Â©
