Overjoyed-Originally Del Valle
If vain thy earthly hopes did prove, thou canst not mourn their flight; Thy brightest hopes were fixed above. And they shall know no blight—Anne-Bronte
Overjoyed
An amiable native of a temperate valley
Begins her journey with swollen belly.
A maiden's pangs of passion, flames afire.
Prometheus’ torch burning bright, forbidden desire.
Her love child is born.
Celestia hija nació ! Not fated forlorn.
Stringy, wrinkly, and with ruby red skin
With a giggle as precious as can be,
and an unrestrained ear to ear grin.
A gem shining bright, Ruby the name was chosen.
Her middle name Ann, tiny were her cheeks glowing rosen.
Transcending space and time Ruby Ann's ambitions took flight.
Intrinsically motivated—Thy brightest hopes were fixed above,
and she shall not want for love nor ever know blight.
A warmth rare, recherché as a searing scarlet stone.
Inspirational speaker, a sonorous soprano’s tone
Ravened tresses cascading down unruly.
Copious tangled locks flow wild and curly.
She perceives the wise in the callow and callow in the wise,
with youths' oval ebony, and soulful eyes
A warm and generous yet haunting sad smile,
that will rid you of your hard heart’s denial.
And with all beauty that spawns inside and out
Proud to say that’s how I felt, and that out loud I shout!
Transcending space and time, all have grown.
Success arrived, sans a family joy of her own.
Her uncertainty only grew as years trod by
'til new consciousness to explain why
A weeping inner voice calls out the universe.
Time wins unless the winds find the seeds to disperse.
The pangs of a woman’s desire have begun,
Riding on the lost carpet of a tune unsung
And with a heart’s desire to bring the joy
to a gem of her own, whether girl or a boy
Now with hand holding hand, a bonding so sweet.
He a tender heart she’d finally meet.
An intimate kiss losing all inhibition.
Besotted lovers in collaboration
Serendipitous encounters and rendezvous, they submit
to one another, and they go at it!
A chance at love, an affection so deep
Merriment relished together they’ll keep.
Conception has blessed the two of them.
Enfolding her, his family—his mother, a spiritual gem
A spark of herself, a dusky jewel
Inside her, my grit and timbre, a miracle renewal
A cherished embryo in a daughter’s belly
A destined native of a temperate valley
Welcoming the birth, life they shall unfurl,
Displayed is the validity of love—a baby girl,
Her eyes are Neruda’s two dark pools at twilight*
Gradual ebb of her father's darkness a birthright
This sagacious native child of a temperate valley
A native princess they called Zenzele
