The lips lifted
eyelashes caressed
eyes drifted close
feeling the dream
Fingers splayed
on the expanding
tummy
butterfly softness
pitter patter
thy feet
Can you feel it?
They asked
I just smiled
Those tiny kisses
inside of me
bringing with it
dreams lovely
Will it be a bubbly girl?
or a bonny baby boy?
Should it matter
for I want it anyhow
Black eyes or brown
nose puckered
up in a frown
Kindhearted or moody
will there be
a beauty?
Once more the kick
lopsided smiles
with me feeling
special
There's no one
that can tell
how it can be so
special
The bundle of joy
makes the presence felt
He looks like his aunt,
no, he looks like my grandaunt
Everyone's given
their precious
resemblances
Isn't there a dream
within all those
watery eyes
I want to grow older
I want to be
Give me the milk
and let me be!!
Dream on and on
my momma's gone
Into her reverie
and I need to move on
Once more I dream on, and this was in response to a prompt so lovely at writer's island

Hello Prats.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Your poem is just breathtaking.
Beautiful..:)
babe.. some seriously beautiful poetry going on... but I miss the tongue-in-the-cheek prose n the incorrigle ranting...:)
@keshi thank you!!!
@sweetstickychewy Thank you , it just reflected the moment
@ziah Hey glad to have u back here.....thank you. And those tongue-in-cheeks will come out too.... ;)
very good blog. I liked it. Exchange links ?
@ashu hey thanks...
a wonderful experience,put into beautiful words...
ask a mother,and she'll say that the only thing she wants is a healthy child.....but sadly sex determination and its female infanticide is still rampant,despite all the progress in thought we have made...sorry for the sad thought,but it just came to my mind as i read your poem
a beautiful post....
@gazal Thank you ! I guess most mothers nowadays do think like that, and some still want their choice of babies. I'm sure its going to take a long while to overcome that hurdle where a baby is as precious as they can get.
So sweetly told ... brought back many memories ... thank you
ahhh! that was beautiful...creation thy name is a woman
@fenny Thank you, sometimes, these memories have a way of coming back and leaving you smiling!
@tys Thank you, and you sure said it so right. Now i'm sure you'll be able to relive this too....along with M.
That brought back a lot of very beautiful memories for me :-) Am reading this poem at a very special juncture in my life right now ;-), so hope this is my good luck charm...
@oormila ahem ahem!!!! Will pray that the charm winds it way through to u. And brings you yet another round of memories. Thank you!!
hmm... tempted enough to ask my wife to ask when would our turn be to live through this experience! :)
beautifully written!
@raghu ask ask!!! it is a beautiful experience....thank you
the babe in the offing has not only made u a mom but also a poet.
the babe even as it metamorphosises gives pleasure to mom who in turn throughout her life gratefully cherishes it and returns the pleasure manifold even during adversities.
many such occasions r there in life. each and every ocasion is one such provided v r able to look at it the right way.
life is a game, play it said BABA.
