Waiting.......


His heart beat echoes in the silent corridor

As he walks back and forth

His feet trembling even if he convinces himself they don't

Anxiety fills his eyes but hope deeply stings in his heart

He is numb to the drama around him

And curses the clock for the hundredth time

Finally the metal door opens

And the white cloak approaches him


His heart best accelerates with each step she makes

"Congratuldations! It's a baby girl"

At last he releases the breath he held for so long

As a warm smile blooms across his face

His feet take him to his little angel

who has come down from heaven

to call him 'daddy'....

A Plea


I stare at the far horizon drawing fuzzy sketches on the sand

that the waves erase in just a moment

Oh you ruthless mighty sea, erasing my sketches

just the way you erased my dreams.

Oh the brutal murderer of innocent joy and laughter

Don't you feel ashamed of you cowardly act?

Are you not guilty of the crime you committed?

Oh you cold blooded killer, how could you steal him away from me?

If your deep dark water was instead like a bride's veil

I would see where he rest in peace.

Oh mighty water lord, bring him back to the shore just once

so I could tell him the three words

I never had the chance to say....................
