In your little black book
Are names
Of victims
You plucked
And bound with red ribbons
From dark alleyways
On cold winter nights
When no one was looking
And now you hide
In the shadows
Waiting.
She filled me with wonder
My mother
9 kids
2 dead
1 husband
No pets
2 jobs
Fierce
Firm
Fiesty
Strong
Loyal
Loving
And I miss her everyday.
Happy mother's day to all mothers
In the quiet solitude of the cemetery
We listen for sounds of life
But all we hear
are the loud whispers
Of lost spirits
Wandering among the tombstones
#vss365
Wrap me up
In your warmth
For I am your son
Your first born flesh
Nurture me.
Loosen the ties
That bind me
For I am your boy
Your pride and joy
Teach me
Unfold the arms
That choke me
For I am a man
Ready for life
Release me.
