Mother's Love


The stability of mother’s love- may it cripple one so? That withdrawn parallel, intimate she: cause endless dream of a lover’s retreat. The banal topic revisited, for humans sweet obsess of touching, though phantom still this affair may be enough to kill a single pointless soul amiss. A recluse, a retard, a social misfit, a shell of a weirdo disfigured I’ve lit; an outline in chalk of strange trembling gone, and once it’s awake, disappeared it’s become. Forgetting course of development- a simple hand prefers to twitch upon fresh and fictitious parchment crisp, escaping what was meant. A poet’s loathing goes within, his mother told him not: that selfish love feels beating warm but frigid dead is wrought.

I'm a musician attending Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Getting close to graduating and I'm trying to work hard to help my parents since my sister is in college now as well. I'd love to hear any comments about my writing! It's something I've recently been getting more interested in again.
