Obtuse Mother

You feign contrition
No body for resolve
Absolute you’re dying eyes
Cocoon in silken wrappings
The inner being consoles
Obtuse mother
With her little stranger
Those counterfeit tears
Bellows no more
Lack of compunction
Halo of strife
I didn’t ask
To be born
But I was begat
To this life

I really enjoyed your works! Thanks for your comments on my work "obtuse mother". You are very talented! Hope to read more from you. I'm working now on transcribing more from pencil to document format. Keep up the great work, and keep the pen handy my fellow poet. Thanks for alerting me to your wonderful poems!
