Missing My Babe

We lived of stolen moments

We talked nothing but compliments

I have lived all these months

I have battled

with all my strength

To delay the explosion

of this passion

Till this moment

of its detonation;

Ten months

 I’ve been without sight of ma’ love

Ten minutes

longer will make it sweeter

Ten minutes

longer in the arms of ma’ love

I see the flowers nod in unison

The pain and strain

of the past months recede

Such vibrant beauty brings me joy

Despite this pain of missing ma’ babe.
