    MENSTRUATION ANTICIPATION



    I am like the child
    who watches out his window
    and yet his father
    does not come.

    I wait for you
    For any signs.
    Still holding on
    To desperate hope.

    The child sees a man
    his heart beats faster
    and he begins to smile
    ...but at a stranger.

    I thought you
    were coming too
    I saw it on my own face
    and felt it in my stomach.

    But you, like the father
    did not come...
    I cried for me
    and did not wish to face this child.

    The child looks up
    and through his tears...
    He sees his daddy smile
    and the child says
    he knew that he would show.

    And you too
    came to me, through me
    and I was grateful
    that you did.

    So I thanked my God
    for sparing me
    the painful birthing
    of another bastard child.

    Great imagination. Metaphors abundant throughout. Well written. Tugs on the emotions.

    Wow. And I can relate to this on so many levels. Your work is awsome! Bravo

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
