TAINTED
*TAINTED*
Butterfly, spread your wings to stair my womb
When everything said my life will end
Unbothered yet growing with love
Your posture like a queen, my sorrow, your Joy
Happy to see the world, while I birth you in pain
When heads popped out yours was dangling legs
Oh! My little feeble
Wonders from my praises
Detail, growth is inevitable
How my bosom missed your whispers
Promise, to live untainted
Save your sanity from all Adams
Bats of divers colours stalks like Leopard
Pounds on their prey, when life is as sweet as honey
Oh! My sainted gift
Discern the gifts From mortal beings
My Gold, I blew the chance and soiled the linen
I'm hunted, choking for breath
Fear becomes my companion
For the days, when my hidden self will bloom
This eagle's beak and sworded claws
Will pierce my heart for all to see
Oh! Arise, you mothering life
Save your womb from painful cries
