The day of birth
The day of birth,
A day that stains the soul with joy
A day that lightness a soul with peace
A day that brings forth a crack on my face
This is the day, the day I was born.
It is the day that maid me, me
A day that gave birth to the soul that I see
A day that lives only for your soul
A day that shall never slip from your mind
This is a day that I remain in heart
Great wishes are granted
Joy lives deep in our hearts
This is a day, a joyful day
Candles are blown, and age is gone
I wish for this day to be every day
It’s a day that shall never be a repeat
But a day that repeats every year
It’s a day that shall never be a review
But a day that reviews it’s self
It is a bday, to you and me a birthday
My unborn child
I can’t wait to hear the pitter-patter
And titter-tatter
Of little feet upon the floor,
What the sex will be it doesn’t matter.
Whether a boy or girl,
It’s going to fulfill my world.
To just wake up every morning
And know that they’re there
He depends on me
And I know she needs me there.
I just hope God grants me wisdom
To be all I need to be
To be able to provide
All it is they need from me.
No matter what may happen
Where or how the future leads
As long as I have them
They will always have me…

The womb
My beginning, my alpha
My shield in bad weather
My hospitality, my palace
When I was, but a fetus
If at all an embryo
I was never in fear of shocks
I was in warmth of care
Nor did I need a garment
For you protected my development
Even when I was less to think
I was at all complete
I knew my protection
The womb, my mother
My world of no ending love
My hospitality, my palace
And when I was less to see
Never did I needed sight
For you knew my direction
Mother, I respect you womb
For it was my shield in bad weather
For I know my sisters and brother
The womb
Our beginning, our palace
For the bond is deep
The womb
My beginning, my alpha
My shield in bad weather
My hospitality, my palace
When I was, but a fetus
If at all an embryo
I was never in fear of shocks
I was in warmth of care
Nor did I need a garment
For you protected my development
Even when I was less to think
I was at all complete
I knew my protection
The womb, my mother
My world of no ending love
My hospitality, my palace
And when I was less to see
Never did I needed sight
For you knew my direction
Mother, I respect you womb
For it was my shield in bad weather
For I know my sisters and brother
The womb
Our beginning, our palace
For the bond is deep
Being of perpetuity
Being of perpetuity
You continued to bear surnames of men,
giving birth to ancestors of ancestors,
laboring zillion sinners and philosophysts,
giving meaning to this space once vacant,
continuing languages of yester-decades,
You are the giver of life to the non-existing,
nester of respect to mindless beings of this human race
You cling unity to off-springs of different times,
Yours is a space of eternity
Your womb is an inventor of new eras
Your hands are the womb of perfect refining
Your vagina is a passage to new episodes
You are the committee of mankind discipline
You are …….mother, a being of perpetuity
A capturer of semen
An engineer of nations
ALL the kings in one package…

In the darkness
I’ve been sitting here for so long
Don’t know what’s going on
This yearning aches deep inside
Is breaking every sense of my pride
Who are they to judge me?
Who are they to cast the stone?
Who are they to blame me, for something I could not control
Now time has come and gone away
I’ve lived a full life, I never strayed
For the first time in my life, I don’t know what to do
This being is growing, the best part of both me and you
I’ve got a little bit of doubt deep inside
Don’t know what to do, heaven knows I’ve tried
Want to love this being with all of my might
Want to stand up, shout not fight
I’ve been sitting here for so long
Now I know what’s been going on
The aches have gotten worse since back then
Like gunshots from a ten thousand men
They can’t judge me
They can’t cast a stone
They can’t blame me, this was something I could not control
gift
Oh what a beautiful sight your are,
Especially coming from within me.
Unbelievable indeed for you I have conceived.
From this day I promise you
I’ll be your guide and protect you.
As you are a gift from God.
Not a single thing I shall miss
As we take it step by step
Making sure your needs is provided.
Words could not express my joy.
For you I would sacrifice mine own life.
Asleep you are & peace within,
Remember thy God and me are watching over you.
"Its a girl"
He said, ma'am you are going to have a girl.
Already inside you, mom I could sense ur
happiness that you were gonna have little
mommy junior.
I was your inside food eater
Your exotic food cravings
Your sleepless nights, pains
Your 24 hours of endless contractions…
Apart from all your suffering
I was your pride and Joy
Your "bundle of pleasure".
Now, I am taller than you, mom
I think, twice as quick as you, mom
All you knew and know, I too know
I have sucked you dry, mom
I have taken your blood, your nerves during delievery.
I am sorry – sorry for being your "bundle of pleasure" parasite.
ITS A GIRL
