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
