Sometimes Some Time Must Pass Before the Flesh Alpha List Father's Day Poems Mother's Day Poems Contents Home Copywrite by Nicholas Gordon Sometimes some time must pass before the flesh Can grow across the chasm of a wound. The rift must be protected by a silence That waits upon the healing touch of night. You and I have traded so much pain There came a time you closed maternal* doors. Your love could not so long sustain the power To hold humiliation in your arms. I know that I have disappointed you: I could not be the child that you wanted. But now I stand beside your ancient walls. Come meet me once again outside the gate. *"paternal" if for a father [contents] [home]
