A Tryst With Fantasy
He's closed the blinds. His twilight dawns. A midday reverie. Within his mind, a vision spawns, awash in mystery. * A levee bursts, torrents crash free— a castle from a dream. Atop his throne, court bent on knee, all hail: "Long live the King!" * Then suddenly, the hall doors boom. "A beast! A beast has come!" As herald wails, and dread consumes: "The end! The...

wish
I wish I could put into words the love a mother has for her child. It is a depth that no one else can reach. They are my existence; they are my breath. My children illuminate my soul and give my life purpose. It's like seeing the world for the first time. They are so...

The blood they spilled that couldn't be removed
He was strong in life But even stronger in death He refused to be forgotten So he stained the pavement in his blood A haunting reminder of what was done His blood spoke more than words could It's echo mourned his childhood To his friends and family he was the embodiment of love To the system they called him a thug How can that...

My first born
My firstborn son, my heart’s new dawn, Your tiny cry, the light that shone In that first breath, I learned to be The mom I’d always longed to see. Your love, so pure, so bright and clear, Awoke a strength I never feared. You took my world and turned it round, In every smile, a home I found. You made me whole, you...

Premium Member If ever
If ever you were taken from me, The sun would rise in mourning black, And birds would fold their wings in shame For mother not to bring you back. The sky would wear your apron soft, The wind would weep your name, And I — a child with broken psalms — Would never speak the same. If ever you were taken from...

If they shoot, tell my story
If they shoot, tell my story A boy writes a letter to his mother She will know nothing of it Until Something bad happens But he knows something will He knows the colour of his skin He knows that it means a possible death sentence He gives his mom direct instructions Of what to do if they try to silence his existence...

Who Am I Now
I was your mom before i was anything else, My name, before my plans, Before the life i thought i’d have— I was yours. Now the world keeps turning, But i don’t know where i fit, Who am i supposed to be If I'm no longer your mom? People say, you’ll always be Cody’s mother, But they don’t understand, Being a mother is doing,...

Premium Member Memories of Mothers Day
Made motherless in your mid teens, father removed by grief, brother and sister crying out, your youth was taken by need. Emotions went subterranean, kept capped too deep in you to weep to the surface. You became a mother. As a child I never knew your pain, I was too busy with my own. You carried those unhealed scars under a granite veneer. Tears were...
