Child of the Heart

You never expected to hear the cries
affecting with such shuddering concern
from the way Cupid’s offspring
grows inside.
Given life in quiet intimate moments,
softly coming to a genesis in the head,
first in a word that is an arrow
inexorably sinking deep into the chest,
touching with fire, 
leaving the mind lightheaded,
wounded to the core from its piercing,
until the mind explodes in fireworks
flashing upon passion’s canvas.

Eyes bewitched into an ravenous obsession
to gaze longingly upon a face that at first seems ordinary,
but now ignites intense sensations with each look.

One caress and the womb within the soul is opened,
suddenly the embryo is created,
tied to the heart by an umbilical cord of infatuation.
Becoming the infant of romance,
having all your most precious genes,
unable to deny being the source,
adoring the partner in a rhapsody’s embrace
whose essence made this new life have a beat.

Spending life happily as a parent
of the beautiful creation you never dreamed
would dwell and give such joy in a lover’s image.
