Forgotten

Blood unite
Blood collide

In her womb
You were a parasite
In her breast
You fed
And in your father's blood
You lived

What you know
Is only where you stand
And the bloodline
Forgotten

You cannot deny
You cannot defeat
It's running in your vein
The pulse I feel
The beat of your heart I hear

You decide
Whether to look back or not
For in the grave
They will rest
Awhile...
Waiting...

They walk in heaven
Watching you from the stars above
Their hearts singing in agony
Watching you carry the cross

In her womb
Her heartbeat was once your lullaby
Blood collide
Blood unite
If. Again.

Poet Destroyer A Date: 1/21/2013 7:11:00 PM Janice, stopping by to say hi ;-) and welcome you to this lovely soup bowl. My name is Linda; everyone here calls me PD for fun. I'm here reading and enjoying new poets to love, appreciate and adore. (And make friends with:-) Please do not hesitate to look me up here on the soup if you need feedback on your poetry.

Thank you for the very friendly welcome :-) It's my first time to write actually. And what funny of me is that i don't even know the kinds of poem so when I was publishing my work here on poetry soup I just click and click on the choices given. I just love to write straight from my heart as I do when I paint. See you around ;-)

It's my first time to write. I was cleaning up my bag and then saw a picture of a very old couple (my grandparents) then suddenly I grab a paper and pen because my mind couldn't stop what my heart dictates. I don't even know what kind of poem it is because I don't have a background in writing anything. Nice meeting you here Victoria :-)

I don't have a background in writing. I just love to write anything from my heart as I do when I paint :-)
