Best Sonwater Poems
Like a foot in the mud you press my mind for love
I worry more about the naked toes exposed to broken glass
And slide from it like water into a clammy ground
Why have you left feathers in the nest, and to swim
You straddle air, filled with phobia for so much water?
We cross seas better flying in a flock on wings.
O Anwar, my son, my son, so like the grass most tender
Silence makes so much louder the blind lawn mower
And in the wind does fly your seeds, life cannot surrender.
Let me cross the sea again, I am always walking in the rain
The wind blows dust into my eyes, and yes for you it pains
But water flows to wash the sand away, like darkness from my face.
Sunshine enters my room each morning, even on the cloudiest of days,
As Spencer rises from a nighttime of dreaming
brightening my world in the most wondrous of ways.
He stands beside me with his effervescent smile waiting for my eyes to awake
I am aware of his glorious presence
as continuous slumber I try to fake.
“Good morning, Dad”, no better alarm sound there be than to hear this greeting so sweet
I thank the gods for smiling on me
and through his adoption making my life complete.
Some say blood is thicker than water though I’m not so sure they’re right
The bond with an adopted son or a daughter
for this dad is just as tight.
