mommy
by Michele Schottelkorbmommy cried the woman-child
i miss you oh so much
peering into photographs
yearning for her touch
mommy screamed the woman-child
i am sad for all your pain
running through her dreams at night
searching for the rain
mommy whispered the woman-child
im embracing you with my heart
walking with her head held high
praying for a fresh start
mommy giggled the woman-child
remember the stories wed tell
dreaming within limbo
not in heaven nor in hell
mommy bellowed the woman-child
do you hear me? i am right here
fumbling through this troubled abyss
remember im always near
mommy smiled the woman-child
im holding you every night
sleeping oh so peacefully
somehow it will be alright

It's beautiful, yet sad too. She misses her Mommie so much. No matter what the age, ya still would miss them. May ya feel peace and joy within. Jean |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 12/17/05 at 03:11 PM all of us, owe or existences to a woman child and I am glad to have been born of such, a woman or a child who was never torn between the two and it is somehow warming to know that when a woman is with child that child is as well with woman. and this poem is with muse and mused by those and one in particular who is not a woman but man child. |
