Ragdoll

The sun today pierces the grey

Window quaint of a house down the way

Upon Mama sweeping around kittens sleeping

Daddy’s dentist appointment, he’s keeping

Danny is playing while granny is swaying

Sitting a while, knitting a smile

Touches and finishes

Love’s in the blemishes

Nobody’s perfect and life is a trial

RAGDOLL

Danny shared all his toys and his balls

But never lent anyone his ragdoll

Even when Mommy cried a tsunami

“Crying for two now,” Papa said calmly.

‘Twas gran’s bequeathal before she had breathed all

Now one life is gone as another one dawns

Seconds and centuries

Life’s in the memories

Ever eternal the circle goes on

RAGDOLL

The weeks slowly crept and nobody slept

Baby, she cried and she wailed and she wept

Very unpleasant, the screaming incessant

Until Danny boy gave baby a present

Baby confused it with food and she chewed it

But loss of the doll, Danny’s pain stalled

For he had captured

A glimpse of the rapture

And If there’s divine it exists in us all

RAGDOLL

The men came in swarms with dark twisted charms

Like deathly still windmills wrapped around their arms

Searching the halls, they searched past the wall

Where terrified baby started to bawl

Abruptly she ceased, abruptly at peace

Then little Dan looked in Mama’s hands

He seen a smile he hadn’t seen in a while

What it was really he didn’t understand

RAGDOLL
