Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Ballade

Notes About The Poem

This a poem inspired by the song: WHEN THE CHILDREN'S CRY by White Lion... 

 

Sinless Eyes - a Collab With James Fraser

SINLESS EYES


Nine solid months unto her womb is he,
breathing and heartbeat they do as one.
Carrying him safely, his husband sees,
providing food and money his daily home run
'til the day his son pleas to be out in the sun.
(always then his aim is to be a good guy)
Though it will take a long long time, his son--
sinless eyes, no smiles, when the children cry...

His son grew then unto the world he spree
where he is exposed to gases, bombs and gun.
Along the streets, he and others learn a key--
that learning curve adhere but some remains undone.
Shoulders bruised, torn, from bearing a tonne,
some lost souls wander, their life gone awry--
falling short to wonder later how it all began,
sinless eyes, no smiles, when the children cry...

Can later bestow some better decree,
outlasting evil by following a model-- a nun?
On returning to God by following thee,
from this day, forward, man shall never shun
to battles that last even 'til midnight sun.
Answers possessed on the strings of whys
and never again to ask for a hired gun.
Sinless eyes, no smiles, when the children cry...

Darkness is beaten, light has won!
Wisdom now reached, cocooning the guy,
a new day now welcomes another son
sinless eyes, no smiles, when the children cry...

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser December 1, 2014 at 8:01 AM The theme is a touchy one especially when I thought that such scenarios maybe faced by maybe soon to be children.. You inspired me with the song you shared to me side by side that I'm caring and cuddling sometime my sister's baby. The poetry form is challenging, this one of the forms I like.. :) Thank you James for writing this with me.. :) James Fraser December 2, 2014 at 1:01 PM Your muse will never fail you Olive ;-) James :) xx :) Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser December 2, 2014 at 4:45 AM as long as my muse doesn't fail me, I shall continue writing.. :) thanks.. :)! James Fraser December 1, 2014 at 1:48 PM The form is challenging Olive, but we cracked it. It was a joy bouncing back and fore the lines to use, to offer, great fun indeed. To write more to other forms with you would delight me, James :)x
