As little as you can be
As light as a feather
Sweet like pure sugar
That hasn’t been refined
You opened your big eyes and smiled at me
Grabbing my thumb and pulling me closer to your heart
As little as you can be
As light as a feather
Fragile, tiny thing in my big arms
Still you know and trust
I will hold you with care
While I cradle you and look how you move
Those small, shaky and uncontrollable dances of yours
And I start smiling back at you
Feeling you even closer to my heart
And while I hold tight closer
I also dance to your rhythm
And think how beautiful you are
As little as you can be
And light as a feather.

Very touching poem, you would be a great father.
ReplyDeleteI should kill you for being awake at such a late hour, though!
As a critic: There are a few grammatical mistakes, but that's nothing that can't be fixed. Also, I personally would have worded a few parts differently. You and I are two different people - yet similar - and either way people will understand our expressionism. However, try to make your poems more intense with amplified figures of speech. Nevertheless, great poem, as always.
