Nine Months

Nine Months

Month one, you found a special home
So tiny and so frail
Beginning life inside your dome
A mansion set to scale

Month two, you are so busy
Your heart begins to beat
You’re growing to perfection
A little face and hands and feet

Month three, you are so strong
Your body is now whole
I gaze in sheer amazement
At my first glimpse of your soul

Month four, you hear me talk to you
We begin a special bond
Not only do you grow close to me
But to you I feel so fond

Month five brings such excitement
It turns out you’re a boy!
In four months I will hold you
Your stare will be new and coy

Month six, your hair is growing
Eyebrows and eyelashes, too
Soft, white, gentle hair so fine
Is growing all over you

Month seven, I can’t believe it
You opened up your eyes
You blink your way to dreamland
And let out content sighs

Month eight, you have no worries
You suck your thumb and breathe
Your body is getting bigger
As you prepare to leave

Month nine, you are so perfect
I can’t wait to see your face
I promise to love you forever
As we have our first embrace

It's Time

In the middle of the night
it mocks you.
The words are
harsh and oft
 times driven with fear.
There is no way to stop
 this with a night’s rest.
Your mind knows that
 the test is almost
 here. Shadowy knights come
to steal your thoughts;
you fight with all your might-
they win anyway.
The heat is on.
It’s time for you to go.
You can’t find the right
building.
The classroom starts to swirl
around you. Drink up;
water will help.
Pencils grab your hand,
and drag you down to Hell.
Wake up now and go.
It’s time.

Passion Unrivaled

Passion unrivaled.
A deep sea of velvet covered lust.
The water thickens.

Drowning now.
No way to escape the current.
Give in to it.

Feel the fury.
Let nature take its course.
Relax now; it's over.

A New Day

Water droplets are forming as dew begins to gather
A sweetly scented breeze flows past my face
The virgin day is forming right before my eyes
I close them tight to feel her brisk embrace

One second is what breaches then and now
In this moment there is no day to be
It's a rare and honest glimpse of perfect limbo
I mustn't blink for fear I will not see

Or could I close my eyes and feel the merger
Would I sense this change of beauty on my skin
No, such splendor simply cannot be determined
But by the change the happens deep within

Gone

As night calls me to slumber
And the day has set me free
Your memory is all I ponder
Your essence is all that can be

Briefly scented memories
Of pine trees and cologne
Sun-kissed golden yesterdays
Have left me all alone

I shivered in the cold
To wait for your embrace
Hours of lonely pondering
In silk and fragile lace

Somewhere in these years
Since love welded tight it's door
You have found a devious way
To make me beg for more

My stupors of sleepy consciousness
In realm from day to night
Beseech for your encounter
I wish I had seen your plight

Somewhere in the dark I hear him whisper
His words are so sincere, and always sweet
I reach for him and find a manly whisker
In the waking night I feel when our lips meet

The softest kiss can melt my heart completely
One touch is all I need to be set free
I know when he looks at me so lovingly
My soul will always long for him, to be

How he came into my life is just a detail
A tiny blip on a map of happiness
I can"t remember a life before I fell
All I know is that it now is pure bliss

I love you.

Shadows

I wonder what they're saying, and how they came to be
I see a boy play freely with a ball
I wish that I could see the things that they can see
Amazing are these shadows on the wall

A memory that once was frozen, now it comes to life
I wish you could see them all
They remind me of a past less filled with strife
Shadows on the wall

I see a girl with glowing skin and eyes that see the stars
There are children bundled snugly in the fall
A lifetime of memories set loose from wooden bars
Free at last, my shadows on the wall

I caged you once, but now, I love to watch you play
Your innocence has finally come to call
With my last breath on earth, all that I can say
Thank you for shadows on the wall
