Alanis, Sweet Princess

You are Love, like a soft and laughing breeze
unfettered, loosed upon the salted palms
in winter benign and without freeze.​

Beauty breathless of a January babe,
dancing, careless of the Sun that fills your face
yet left your doorstep to wander from its place…​

…to embrace and carry you, enchantress,
now lifted from the drenched and marshy plains
to enthrall, and in your mountain home to reign.​

Play upon the grassy foothills of a dream
in sunbeams, giggles, hopscotch and apricot trees,
your eyes and infant’s curls from afar to me gleam.​

Sleep the sleep of innocence,
[COLOR=green]live the dream of bliss.[/COLOR]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=green]to you, my daughter, beloved Alanis,[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Man! I thought i was the only father who had adorned thoughts for our kids , you set a standard Jaguey, honest to goodness i admire your poem. And i can see in the picture a wonderful reason for you being so meticulous with your verses and words, is all worth it...and then some, a pleasure reading.

 

Thank you sincerely poroeta for your kind words. This one came to me almost in a dream, I awoke about 5 am with words in my head and had to get up to write before I forgot. I'd been thinking for days about writing something to each of my kids, and she just wouldn't let me wait. More coming...
I've read many of your poems also, poroeta, and I admire your talent immensely. For lack of time I don't always comment, but I'm not going away, we'll definitely cross paths again. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with me.

Spectacular form of expression towards that little angel!!

As a mother of 4 I can appreciate!!!

Love and kisses to the both of you...

 

Thank you Guadalupe, I´m so happy you enjoyed this! I really love this poem, I think it has the best metaphors I´ve ever come up with, though most are far too personal for the average reader to understand them. I´ll just say that it deals with my daughter´s history and my present situation with her. She was born in Miami, my ex-wife has recently moved from there to the mountains of Utah. There you have a couple of clues to the deeper meaning of this work. I could probably fill up several pages with a critical analysis, but I´ll just let the poem stand on its own. BTW, I´m also a father of 4, so we have a bit in common. Alanis is my youngest. Thanks again for stopping by, your presence beautifies everything you touch.
Besitos de coco,
