Mother! (Free verse) by kawakurdi Mother! don't say
My son passed on alone
Here is the sky
Washing me with the rain of her eyes
The autumn has made me a coffin
From its yellow leaves
And this is the land
Opening her arms wide to me
And hugging me to her breast?
No, dear mother!
Don't say my son died alone,
The land which I worshipped all my life
Is sucking my blood, drop after drop,
And gives me an eternal abode deep in her heart.
Up the ladder:
A Passing Love
Down the ladder:
Howl For Clarity (for Jeff Buckley)

Thank you all for your appreciation.
Sorry horus8, it seems I deleted your comment by mistake. I wanted to reply and say: I am glad to read you again. It seemed to me you were absent for some time. 197 view(s)
