Birth!



A tunnel
Long and windy
Darkness engraved
Pressing silence
Whispers
A furtive nexus, or
An ominous swear


Caged in,
my kicks, Feeble
my shrieks, Futile
wonder
if can permeate
those dense walls


Tender tapping
The sweet croon
A mellifluous voice
Vectors of assurance
Threats lifted


A sudden flush
All illuminated, white

One holds,

The emollient touch
One kisses,
Welcome note shared
One calls,
"You are mine"


I recognize
that Voice and that One
The cool gentle wind murmurs - 
"Mom"

    1. Thanks Maniparna! You really got it right, very irregular these days....some sort of lag, though I keep scribbling but nothing concrete, so to say. I'll surely have to rise from this slumber. Thanks for visiting!
