RevolutionAl (Alistair Plint)'s Rendition-...and when a man cries
...and when a man cries
in the corner of his
highs
no one could see
no one would see
no one should see
and when a man cries
behind the veil
of his highs
he has done all
he could've done
he would've done
he should've done
to avoid
the void
and
when a man cries
under clear blue skies
it rains
no
not a flood
just a pair of droplets
on a couple of specks of dirt
leaving them moist
yet as barren
as before
and when a man cries
with open dry eyes
his widest of grins
are his
whitest of lies
do not ask what happens
when?
a man cries
it is only after
"the man"
in him
dies
.
it happens
without a sigh
because
when a man cries
he does so
behind the visible highs
and when a man cries....

It was a joy to edit the audio into this little video reading. Al does get these crazy ideas every now and then, but sometimes they pay off and beautiful readings such as this happen 😊
Your poem is a tender rendition of emotional vulnerability. Thank you for being brave enough to express it.
Beautiful work, Sir(s). It’s been an honour and a privilege from start to finish.

Honor...in all honesty Dear Miss Missy...
is mine...absolute joy!!
i was shocked..when first viewed this work...the sheer quality of it. To me, it in all honesty feels as if someone took a poor sketch, a scribble on a piece of paper and turned it into a walking talking full blown masterpiece of movie.
Tell you what..as mentioned to Al in the first note to him after viewing this.. one man did cry.
Thank You Missy for your Editing Magic but before that...the mere thought for me,of someone, anyone let alone Artists of the stature of Sir Al and You, taking precious time, out from their lives and doing this, is way beyond kindness. This gesture... well speaks for itself.
Thank You!!
beyond words!

Not sure that a man cries because of his lies. And not sure he lies and dies when he cries......

Great poem all round, when a man cries you know it's bad.....
Good write...
It's the video though it feels like your reading it more than reciting it but it's so powerful
