Fireflies winking on and off
He snuggled in close to me
wrapping me in his arms
and we listened to the night sounds
and then
magic
fireflies winking on and off
in our room
golden light
looking for a mate
and I snuggled closer
to the warmth of mine.
On her forever
Lips
In the cup of her hip
Lush and sensual
Dark cherry against mahogany skin
Perfectly placed so that every time she put her hand on her hips
She would touch it
Those lips
An ex-lovers
Never to be seen again
But on her forever
A shame to be dealt with
When you saw me the first time
tiny
blue black hair
eyes so dark they were black
warm toast skin
not red and wrinkly like most babies
was there a moment
when you felt love
or did you just see
shame
regret
loss
sadness
Did you look at me
as the destroyer of all your
hopes and dreams
a small tiny baby
who did not ask to be created
but now here
a shame to be dealt with
