Orphan Of Love

The psychic tattoo

of paternity

darker than

fate’s blackest ink

 

The guilted knife

of maternity

cutting you

near to the brink

 

A prodigy alone

in the shadows

offspring of

scorn and disdain

 

Begging for love

and acceptance

from parents

— called heartache and pain

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)
