This is a poem I recently wrote and its on abortion. I understand the topic is a very sensitive one, but the views expressed here are mine alone, and I must ask you to keep that in mind while reading it...
Unraveling fingers never knew the touch
Of a mother's love or cradling embrace;
Disallowed voice, not granted as much
As a half attempt in this nine month race.
Eyelids never opened to sunlight,
Nor did bare blue that would fine-tune;
Blissful daybreak an unseen sight,
Alike shimmering glow of full moon.
The leaves of Autumn never did fall,
Summer's heat wasn't once felt;
Ears never did listen to Spring's calls,
Eyes never watched snow slowly melt.
Precious laughter never spoke aloud,
The joyous tones were forever hushed;
Pressures heard from judging crowd
Decided all that was to be rushed.
Angelic whispers of hair never grew,
Smiles hidden on blushed cheeks;
For all was taken before date due,
So many years stolen in mere weeks.
Nameless, unknown and without voice
First hello overlooked with goodbye;
All was decided in a single choice,
Society sang its curtain fall lullaby.
Floating in a distant, timeless land,
Playful spirit knows none of this;
Life's gifts they'll never understand,
All that is to be innocently missed...
