Mother - ZorbaBooks

Mother

And mother here I lie down

In her lap underneath this blue scarred moon

Reminiscing the lost child in me

Reminiscing the lost mother in you

Reminiscing the lost me and you

For all I crave for even now is your shade

Under which I’ll lie down peacefully

Which might cure my ailing heart

But the shadow that is silhouetted over me

Is not yours

I wish, I could go back and ask you for it

If that’s not too much for a child to ask

To let me lie there next to you

I don’t want the talking

Just your shade, that would sufficiently fill me up

To move on

To move on to this woman next to me
