She slept, unaware of my frustration She slept, under her warm, silky blanket She slept Mother? I sat next to her feet, next to paradise Guessing dreams, beneath her closed eyes Her closed eyes, they reminded me that she couldn’t see me Her closed eyes, they reminded me of her serenity Mother? They call father a criminal For his crime was to let me in this world Let me in this world of revulsion And then take you away from me Take himself away from me Mother? Embrace me to warmth Let warmth fill the cracks You gave me birth And the color black Mother These roses scenting your bed I dare not touch them “your touch would pollute their purity’ My touch My black touch I dare not touch them Mother?? ..but she still didn’t speak back She was asleep As I rest my head on my knees, And somewhere in between dreams and reality a man approached to me and said 'the cemetery gates are about to close' Click to purchase Print 53415 0 Other Author Poems Recent Site Documents What type of Valentine do you wish to have?
