My Boy

My boy

Is smiling;

Grinning from ear to ear.

He’s got one dimple on his right cheek

And it just

Lights me up inside to

See me reflected in eyes

That bare even a mere resemblance to mine.

To call something your own

That breathes outside of your lines-

It’s heartbreaking

Ad beautiful

And like being drunk

On the finest wine.

  1. I’d love to read your poems but they are dark brown on black, on my computer, and so I can barely see them. Any chance you could change your theme or at least the colours to make them more legible? Thanks.
