To Lay in Earth’s Arms

I frequently visit the empty shores,
That harbor occasional tranquility.
Within its bounds, I rest to take in,
All the peace that escaped me then.

I gaze at the unreachable,
While I witness the moon’s growing glory.
Dazzled by the light it shared,
With the darkness that approaches.

I clinch the earth beneath me,
As to feel its overflowing care.
Hoping that each grain I hold,
Will never depart my frail hands.

I long for the becoming of my hopes,
To be free from bitterness and cruelty.
And may the creeping tides wash away,
The anger and hate I planted within me.

Can you promise to not let me go?
Never let me fall prey to life’s anguish again.
May thy arms bring me comfort,
From sadness unimaginable.

Child of Sorrow

Helpless to those who chase her,
Aimlessly fleeing from the ambush.
Alas, attempts led to her capture.
Four walls concealed escape so wanted.

The clutch of darkness grew closer,
As the assailants stepped in with confidence.
Their eyes glared with demonic ambition,
Yet their faces were painted with innocence.

Screams echoed throughout the space,
One lone light stood witness.
The infiltration soon ended,
But its permanence will remain.

Her womb throbbed endlessly,
The impregnation of pain was completed.
Unwanted suffering that’ll last nine moons,
Has already started to haunt her being.

While she laid stricken dumb by chance,
She awaits the birth of cruel fate’s fruit.
A reminder of the unfortunate,
Which will scar her soul forever.
