IN OUR EYES

Summary:

A boy in need of a Mother.

 A LOVER 

How do I tell my love in a poem? 

When my heart beats fast… It is louder than crashing vessels.

In making heaven, I left a stain there, a tear.

A broken symphony in all my songs.

But I’m waiting, to reach the stars in your eyes were your promises breath.

A MOTHER 

I am walking in the dark, my son on my hand.

It’s late and the moon stares.

I close my eyes to remember the horror of the night.

The men that pulled my hair, skin, laughed in my ears.

The piercing pain…

I see the shadows, my eyes widen.

“We won’t touch you because of your son”

Broken.

A FATHER 

My heart bleeds like this, no one can know how I mourn.

The pain in my back is alive.

The world makes me a man but I am a boy.

A boy in need of a Mother 

A BOY. 

I am running fast, my little legs carrying me to lengths.

I am light and the birds follow me.

The music of the trees should be enough.

But I am slipping to the memories of old.

When I was a man buried in worries and wrongs.
