The Main Street (01-2009) (/)
The main street
To every corners of the street darkness starts to creep
The awaited hour of triumph of their restless souls
To embrace the night, the world of eternal deep
Shadow's secret -the flesh's trade, business of the fools;
Sketch the gloom, the every venture to make it known
The sons of Adam and their flight, in-search of stroke
Their endless desire to fill the chest's hollow, pawn
Penetrate the hole between them, to palpate before they mock;
The hands who adore the manhood, who praise its strength
The mouth who tastes man's sweet nectar of purity
That, from the intense dance, there it blows the scent
While the world is asleep -to witness nay the art of insanity,
They, in-vision of touch the belt's masculinity of she
Before it dies let the ecstasy -the femininity of he.

'The main street' is a story about the main streets in the cities where these gay-men, homosexuals, bisexuals find their trade -the issue of male prostitution; and the reality of 'homosexual culture and their sub-culture'.
short time moments are rampants to some community..but...we all know that this moments are not the moments we are wishing for long term..we want nice life with our own family..we want peace wth family and friends..we dont want to have illness out of this short time moments...
It is a wonderful metaphorical and symbolistic poem at the same time.Indeed, in the absence of love, the darkness and the illusion of happiness can fill the soul. But the absence of purity generates another thrill for killing the power of love and for the madness.Thank you for sharing.10++++++++
Every city has it's street, such as 42nd in New York City
a deep metaphorical write, penned with sensitivity and sensibility.
Wow you have the guts to pen a very sensitive theme...well formed and layed...your words were powerful and rich..........10+++++++
A thought provoking write on an extremely sensitive issue! probably, it's high time to redefine our attitudes as well...
