The Walk

[Truerenigma]

No, its not that confess means homosexual, it's the poem as a whole. You can confess your feelings... confess your sins, confess your love. Why confess?

its more the other lines in the poem which i outlined in my OP.

The poem is very romantic.


I only said sorry, because i didn't want you to think I was just being silly.

confess - admit or acknowledge something reluctantly, typically because one feels slightly ashamed or embarrassed.

Oh it's ok. I didn't mean to laugh. You just reminded me how meaningless meaning can be since the consumption of poetry tends to be pretty subjective. Was that experience well crafted for you, and did you like it?

I rather like your version as it's quite pleasant, though apparently there is some tension, and there is the magical and wonderful romantic possibility that everyone will be ok.

p.s. the poem "as a whole" says nothing about the sex of the N for one. But the two reasons I laughed I guess are I don't know any gay men who are ashamed of it, and the apology that came after "i'm almost certain this isn't the case but I but I keep coming to this conclusion ... sorry ..." as if you thought I might think you were somehow doing my poem an injustice.

How would I know what the confession is? I just found the nature of the idea of a confession compelling for this walk. I hadn't considered your reading when I wrote it, simply for the fact that the sex or sexuality of the speaker and or friend has no bearing on what I intended for the poem (nor does the specific confession), and I hope it could workin all of its dimensions either way, though that being the confession seems unlikely(to me). It may fit into the "love" poem genre, but it's hardly amorous. It seems more likely that it could be viewed as a children's poem.

So while it is a possibility, I don't think it makes any difference one way or another.

Thank you for the comments.
