Sonlove
by Maria Massarella
oh! quanto è più facile
scriverti in un respiro
avvolgerti in un abbraccio!
oh! how easier it is to
write you in a breath
wrap you in an embrace!
words escape me language
surfaces in the light I wear
when my gaze caresses yours
In effortless adoration your
Sonlove robes me - Is there
Mother more blessed
when you sip at my well
I know what it is to be water
flow to nurture you -
ambrosial your sweetness
honeys my motherheart - we
speak the purest love
white its flame merges
with air in one soul
I feel your Spirit
ancient
and you have said this
of me too - that you feel
you have always known me
loved me in other lives
timeless and I can feel it
this agelessness of you
it is there in the unseen
in the unspoken and I
shall return to gather words
clocks tick mine says we are
minutes away from your
twenty-third birthday
(eight minutes away)
I need continue my thoughts
in kitchenspace that your
pranzo may be ready when
you come home to lunch

| Posted by A. Paige White on 04/02/15 at 03:11 AM I adore this beyond what words can convey. It's how I feel about my son and grandsons also and that birthday is mentioned and December 17 is also my birthday thrilled me. I came to this folder expecting springtime poetry and found such a delightful suprise!!! Beautiful! |
