about love between parents

parents are the stars in our lives, the light that guides us forward, the warmth of winter's sun, which gives comfort to our innermost souls.

the following poems are mine reflections on the love between parents

about love between parents poem one

you’ve got that big old hand in your backside

smiling at me as I age into this world

i’ve grown and i’m still waiting for you

there’s a gray man, a tall man, walking down the street

he’s holding me close, his fingers winding around my neck

she’s also got that big hand in her backside

she’s holding me close as well

the sun shines through their hair

there are times when i’m scared to walk near them

i’ve got this bad feeling about it

the world is catching up with us

the pain feels like a mountain

but i can’t climb it

i still need you

both of us are stronger and more resilient than ever before

about love between parents poem two

i’m your mother’s skin

your black, your yellow, your brown

i’ve got my heart burning red

the white is cold

mud is soft

i don’t care about boundaries or limits

i’m your sun, the warmth that fills the sky

i’m your fire, the energy that burns bright

i’m your hope, the spark that will never be extinguished

you’re a snowman’s seed

a sand dune that hasn’t been burned by the wind

a mountain of earth that’s still young

with me

we’re all in this together

i’m your child, and so am you

about love between parents poem three

there are many faces here

but both of us share the same mother’s heart

we’re beautiful, but we’ve grown up differently

some days are hard

some days are brighter

but we still move forward

they see us walking down the road

the dark side is alive

and so is the bright

but they don’t tell them what to do

i’ve moved far away

but there’s still a way forward

they’ll never become my mother

i’m their child, and that’s it
