Promises (An Acrostic Poem)
Emotion filled eyes stare directly at me.....
Coaxing me to just say the words.....
Lies so casually slip from my mouth, but today,
I seem unable to articulate even the most basics of thoughts....
Persistently you goad me, over and over again....
Say the words my conscience screeches at me...
Eternal promises made under duress would never lead to longevity, so despite your desperate pleas, I turn and walk away.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

Wonderful absolutely wonderful @@@❤️❤️💕
That's so interesting or emotional story but I really liked it
This a beautiful yet sad piece. It seems very relatable as well, the pain of faking emotions in a relationship long after they’re no longer felt and then needing the courage to call off the relationship entirely. Very well written.
