My Boy and Me

These dark thoughts I have will not go away. They sit just under the suface, tainting everything I say. Should have never tasted, her blood red lips. Should have never grabbed those, soft white hips. Now I look behind, wonder why I didn't see. Its like everything we did, didnt have anything to do with me. Why I wonder what I could have done. Now I'm left behind, broken with my newborn son. My dark days seem like they are far from gone. Tireless feelings, my nights way too long. Her poison, pumps threw his veins. Its all I have of her, its all that remains. I guess I have to grow, so my boy will never know. His mother is, just another whore. She sells herself, just so she can score. I guess thats the way it has to be. I will make sure my boy never has to see. Still I can be happy cause its my little boy and me.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Maryland, USA

Favorite Poets: I have many favorite poets but I like Poe the most.I would also feel wrong if I didn't include music to this also, for I find it to be of great inspiration.These are lyrics to a song by Monster Magnet called Ozium, it never fails to put me in the writing mood and thought I would share it, lol., " I'm up to my brain in the mire of an ancient swamp, Pteranadon smiles at me and flies up to god, Baby let me drink deep from your globes of reality, Writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove, baby give your tongue a taste and follow me up to my room, the bullgod has your head, and baby thats just fine, now it is time, we became the mighty cell, wrap those hungry jacks? to the mindless groove, they say we've got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, baby, the faster you gyrate the faster we'll be there, arms up overhead, a goddess in the ancient song, work that mighty world to the mindless groove, they say weve got a life time but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, they say weve got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied I will not be denied"

A powerful poem with strong

A powerful poem with strong imagery. Well done. Like the ending and the idea of protecting the baby from the truth yet feeling her blood running through his veins. A beautiful poem. Cass

Dear Zombie

Sounds like the object of this poem fell into a trap set by a vile woman. You got the best of her in her child. A great and creative write. Always, Cat
