The Inner Child

I don't want to be your sister I don't want to be your mother I don't want to be your wife nor your mistress or a lover I want to be the child you birth on a wombless night Sucking on your needless thoughts Playing hopscotch in your mind Building castles in your hand take your footseps above the sand I want to be the child you birth on a wombless night Your burnt sugar,Crystallize Pour it across your sterile smile till it sparkles in your eyes Make you play games grownups wish but never do 'Hide and seek,Catch-you're it Pillow-fights, and Mr. Who' I want to be the child you birth on a wombless night Make you soar where the winds blow Reach the kite within your soul I would camp inside your heart Let our rhytmic beats impart I would breathe inside your life Bring the sun,and end your strife I want to be the one I want to be the inner child which kiss your lips with bliss and in your joys,reside

Oh I know very well the cries of the inner child of innocence my dear friend. It's a hurtful thing to take away or not acknology a young child, it's emotionally pain that you cannot forgive or forget. But it's great to get it out because holding it in can be worse take my word for it, great job on expressing yourself, cheri

Your the perfect child woman Charma, and are surely a playful lover. I believe the best companion finds amazing and natural ways to reawaken the slumbering youth in us, encouraging fascination and competitive joy. "I would camp inside your heart..." I love that idea, this poem makes me so happy Charma, I must FAV. it...J.A.B.
