doomed to be sold to a brothel
her fate was sealed when she was born 
if at birth her mother kills her
should she be an object of scorn

Between Two Moments

there are two moments
in this world
we cannot know about.
at birth and At death . And
the former cannot be prepared,
but the latter we can.

Every Woman Is a Paw Tree

with paw fruits of sizes
purchased at birth for nothing
thrown on the chest by word of mouth
young, ripe, old they are
but a taboo for adult diet

Like Two Silly Ducks







forever quacking 
like two silly ducks in bed
two soulmates at birth 
jibber jabber quack quack quack 
yes I think they got the knack !

Premium Member Benjamin Button

At birth, Benjamin Button was old and gray.
He lived his life backward, or so they say. 
Did he make fewer mistakes because
his past is what his future was?

Lost.

Everything will change now
It has to
Unbilical cord lost from Mother at birth
Was re attached at her heart
But when her heart stops beating
Doesn't her child too?

My Bed

I have a friend, best friend
She was with me at birth
She will be with me in life
She welcomes me in sorrows
She will carry me at death
This is my bed simple, loving

Baby Then and Now

At birth, little baby just ate.
He pooped, peed and cried until late.
Today it’s the same,
his parents would claim,
although he has turned twenty-eight.

Premium Member Life Signs

At birth I was spanked to ensure breathing
Later poetry enhanced life's meaning
The first a violent act
The latter a peaceful fact
Special part of life that keeps me beaming

Nobody

How much are you worth? 
Would you sell your soul? 
For a pocket full of gold?
 Did you know at birth? 
What lines would you cross or uncross if you could? 
I'm nobody 
are you nobody too?

Premium Member Fate's Twist

Between the dreamtime blackness
and the yawning dawn of lucid and pure dreams;
venture pure souls.

Pure dreams are free at birth to spirits;
made impure by ego,
a mortal pills “side effect”.

The First Puff of Birth

The very first puff at birth—
Unconsciously, I drew it in.

Neither death nor birth,
But existence itself.

In an instant, hunger and cold fade away,
For that primordial kiss was so sweet.

Fly

Clip a bird's wings at birth
so she may never feel
the deprivation of stolen freedom,
never a sitting bystander to the open
air, her song never leaving the nest 
from her body, trapped 
Eternal

Something To Consider

Awareness, for us ordinary folk,
Begins at birth.Those smiles, bestowed on us by mom,
And some big guy called dad, and life's first gifts
that celebrate our worth, came free! So share your wealth.

Her appearance giving her mother a sense of mirth
Her mother had been fascinated by dragons forever

Dogma Incarnate

Religion in practice…
arms length from God
Close enough to see,
never to touch

Single lens focus,
vision for sale
Dogma as deity

Our Silence

All are born in silence;
giving life to silence,
giving scorn to silence,
giving light to silence,
the fight for silence,
my silence,
your silence
our silence-

dies at birth, 
and is born again
in death.
