Cocoon: The Mother And Her Daughter (poetry By Uc Truth) by pedroblings: 8:12am On Jun 21, 2017 |
I used to know a girl A spitting image of her mother. I should know, cos I used to know her mother. You haven’t seen a woman’s walk stop you dead in your tracks. The movement of her body once hypnotized me, for real; those curves led straight to places I shouldn’t have been, I drove recklessly and almost lost my being. When I realized and snapped out of my zombie walk to a land unknown, untamed as a beast on its prey to ravish: the picture I saw was her face, the last mirror I could remember looking into before Medusa made my heart stone. So I suspect that this girl is up to no good. If apples don’t fall too far from a tree then from experience I should see far, so far I see; I’m no jew-man, pharisee: I know the land I would land in when and if I allow my eyes stay too glued to the mirror of her face; Medusa might not let me go with my share of the grace; this time, I might be the one shared in the end; You know how the horrific legend goes; ‘a story of my blood shed’. But I dared. Looked into her face, I used to know a girl A spitting image of her mother. my life wasn’t gonna be the same as this daughter turns 18 I turned to my wife to speak when our eyes met. “Damn, I will always be hypnotized by those eyes”.
