Never Lullaby


I wouldn’t hope you never knew
How heartstrings loop & knit
The cradle form within my arms
You’ll not not always fit

I have a heart hole in my soul
Your whole heart fills just right
A dim dull darkened part of me
You’ll not not always light

And when you’re not not far away
(as children don’t not grow)
Recall that jigsaw piece of warmth
You’ll not not
always
know








*      *      *      *      *

Just a bit of nonsense.  I like kids, but I can never finish a whole one.

    Beautiful. And I love the art. You're so good at capturing the emotions people feel for their families.

    ...which is why I love it. Great stuff!

    So great! How do you come up with this stuff? I've said it before: I want to camp out in your imagination. Just overnight. Please?

    This is a really nice solution to IF's prompt. Also, your narrative work is BADASS. :)
