“Mystical moments”
Tiny glitters of laughter,
Starlight lavender skies,
With the moon half hidden,
Behind sweet sorrowed sighs.
These are my
Mystical moments…
My
Stomach swells of life
My
Back aches of pain
Can’t believe it’s finally time,
To expose the heart to
This body of mine.
To give myself
Into the world.
A Baby.
Mystical moments…
To hear a beep,
Beep no more.
To see – peace,
Melt into war.
To watch the light,
Fade to black.
To feel their IMPERSONAL hands
Inside of my suddenly BLACK soul
…………………………………………………..And feel it die
…………………………………………….. inside… Of me
Mystical moments,
I need to
scream and screech
An animals cry
While the sudden stab of why’s
overwhelm the smile on my husbands face
Pain emerges
Explodes toxic waste
Killing innocence within its path
And I shove - hate him away
“Get AWAY” I say.
I say “Get Away!”
Breathing fails
beneath pressure
death is here for she and I
dinner for two - in hell
Mystical fucking moments
And then he holds me, so tight, and I close my eyes.
He says not to worry, it will be better next time
We will try again, and I love you still
And I
Rebirth – in him
And I
Share the sin – in him
And together
We vow to try again
Together we vow
To try again.
Mystical Moments
Author notes
this is a mystical moment in an of itself... i recently read a book where the mother had miscarraiged five times and the sixth time she'd made it through their full term... and then in labor lost the baby... her hustbands father without telling the husband went to her and asked her "how much she wanted" to leave his son and give his son a real life because as a jew they'd survived everything... but he told her he feared they would not survive her. that she would kill off their line. it was horrible... and i think a true mystical moment... a real... real moment is when a woman loses her baby... and her husband is there to say its okay. and that they will try again.. and that something like this (so catastrophic) wont break them because they love eachother...
i dont know... maybe that is just me.

OMG, the poem and your note made me cry. You are right about the loss being a mystical moment as well as the husband saying its ok etc. Another amazing Mystical Moment is the feeling of a life growing inside you and then seeing the life be born. And each day that they share with you are Mystical Moments as well. Nicely done! Good luck in the contest.
Hugs,
Vampi

Thanks much for the comments Vampira.
I am glad my poem was felt and experienced... though of course I would never want anyone to experience a miscarriage... of course.
