while my pen gently leaks***

i sat watching her play
so curious and carefree
its remarkably eerie
just how much she looks like me

innocently mirrors me
the kid in me
like sculpted fragment
of who i used to be

a reflected piece(peace)
truly the best part of me
encapsuled in tiny eyes
yet amazingly set free

i try to think back
to when i was her age
furtile because
its just a blank page

all i forgot to remember
the day joy passed away
sullied and beaten
decomposed and decayed

lost,forever erased
tho i search for a trace
a glint of rememberance
when i look into her sweet face

is that really me
whispered immortality
singing to the wind
a forgotten melody

my thoughts dancing to lost rhythm
in flowery fields painted blue
by blossoming forget-me-nots
dripping ink the perfect hue

every drop drenching
heavy with hope
that despite this cruel world
her eyes remain kaleidoscopes

that i've taught her how to love
despite whatever pain life has coming
cause Lord knows
its so hard to be a woman

i would gladly bear her burdens
spare her any ounce of pain
but i know she TOO must go thru
if she ever is to gain

slowly emerging from depths unknown
a tender sigh escapes my soul
releasing fear and frustrations
powerful chokehold

as i sat and watched my lil girl
every imaginable emotion seeps
i think of life,of love,of joy and pain
while my pen gently weeps(leaks)
