Had been dusted from a mother to be
By a gentle wind that meant no harm.
The expulsion seemed so violent.
Detaching her reason to understand.
Forever scarred by pitiful conscience;
Rendering this perfect flower
Void of a will to bloom again

“I’m sorry,” she spluttered with foolish guilt.
Her selfless regret gouging deep into my sentient heart.
Yet before me lay no blame, only broken dreams.
Drawing on all things compassionate, gently I said:
Although in futile vanity I try to feel a woman’s pain, I cannot.
Thus with all that is me, that is love, I will comfort thee.

It was time to be a man. A real man!
To gift her fragile wilted stem with strength
To fill her flaccid petals with new colour
And softly reassure her ashen leaves
That new life will again one day
Fill her worried womb once more.

A Worried Womb

The unsullied spirit of a child unborn
Had been dusted from a mother to be
By a gentle wind that meant no harm.
The expulsion seemed so violent.
Detaching her reason to understand.
Forever scarred by pitiful conscience;
Rendering this perfect flower
Void of a will to bloom again

“I’m sorry,” she spluttered with foolish guilt.
Her selfless regret gouging deep into my sentient heart.
Yet before me lay no blame, only broken dreams.
Drawing on all things compassionate, gently I said:
Although in futile vanity I try to feel a woman’s pain, I cannot.
Thus with all that is me, that is love, I will comfort thee.

It was time to be a man. A real man!
To gift her fragile wilted stem with strength
To fill her flaccid petals with new colour
And softly reassure her ashen leaves
That new life will again one day
Fill her worried womb once more.

1.Real spirit is breathing out of the lines. As always in your poems.
2.A love to a future child gives you a thougth that the best way to relieve him of the coming unavoidable grief and pain is not to born him at all. Actually, selfishness gives you the same thought. The same result. 3.And "worried womb" is filled with "worried penis"...

Honestly no comments are worthy of this poem.
The depth and precision alone are enough to blow one's mind,
along with it's beauty and delicate posturing
this piece is astounding.
