M. Rose Davis Poems

Mommy are you a girl?
Yes sweetheart I'm a girl.
Mommy can girls be friends?
Yes my son,
...

I’m sorry I can’t do this
I can’t live with you anymore
I cherished and loved you
I gave myself over to you
...

You say you know me
I’m an open book
You read each word
but have you really looked.
...

Straight unyielding lines
Angles of every degree
Black, white and shades of gray
Is the picture I see
...

My world was me,
Then came you.
We built a life,
Together as two.
...

You beauty is pure,
Your gace is regal,
You're my ruler, master, lord and king.
...

I hold you tight,
Trying to easy your pain.
I can’t help but remember,
You held me this way.
...

The moon is full
I cannot sleep
I sit and ponder
Here in my keep
...

Mommy, do you have my purple wings?
Your purple wings?
Yes Mommy my purple wings,
I need them.
...
