Anguish paints the mask.
Choking on dysphoria
begrimes a collapsed heart.
Hypothermia sets in
when squeezing the color blue.
Awake crying in the darkness
Hungry must be fed
Nursed, changed, swaddled
Rocked and laid gently into the bassinet
Lonely wanting to be held
Awake crying in the darkness
Lovers gather, yelling "carpe diem"
Lovers kiss, living with totem
Lovers fall, counting walls
Lovers forget, crushing falls.
Love birds chirping as one
Under a tree skipping one by one
Above the bassinet where cuckoos nests
Below the cradle are loving breasts.
Rush to me and sail with me
On a gondola in Venice we flee
Gaping romanticism in idealism
Dying dualism without ostracism.
a pebble in the ocean
grain of sand on the shore
an ant on the sidewalk
and millions more
baby in a bassinet
or in a high chair
gently placed in a car seat
tender loving care
some say life's without meaning
speeding by in a trice
shh! mom and baby are snuggling
so lovely, so nice

Silvery Moon drifts through open window.
Baby's bassinet is bathed in evening sky.
Across the open yards, Silvery Moon gifts,
gifts love and devotion to taper the shadows.
A shimmer to shield from darkness
dusting sleepy lids with light like baby powder.
Hold fast to fleeting innocence
and boldness of brilliant shield
as you swaddle my tender babe tonight
through open window, Silvery Moon.

Inspired by Babyface (Carl Sandburg)
Paulette was a happy brunette
who now is forlorn and upset
for something, she cannot forget.
She backed up- ran over her pet
while driving her brand new Corvette
and killed her dear poodle, Suzette.
Tears flowing, she laid a rosette
next day on a pink coverlet
once used in her own bassinet-
and cried at the grave with regret.
