My Unborn Love
Dear Idris, Dahlila or nothing at all
I haven't even seen a hand or pitter of a heart
Not even a twinkle of delight has come to my womb or mind
A passing thought, a laugh I see in another's smile
All I think of is the time I get to spend a lifetime with you
Never a bitter swallow or dreaded tale for your future
It is excitement and giddiness to finally have you in this world.
A work of art starting out as vivid green stems
Waiting to bloom life from it budding branches
Little pitters-patters till running onward into light where you'll find me again
