NaPoWriMo - 22

The cradle of a woman
always gently rocks:

how can it not love
the swaddled place
where phallus and
foetus have both lain
their precious heads?

Sweet lullabies and
libations pour forth
from tender lips;

she walks with their
rhythm swinging softly
through her hips.

Somewhere there’s
a cradle that forever
sings your song.

Oh, Kate, this one is so sensually gorgeous!!! I love the stanza She walks with their rhythm swinging softly through her hips...When you truly are connected it is as if at the hip...Cradling a loved one's head in your lap, is so comforting and sensual at the same time. You have sparked the seeds of love in me with your words, where is my prince charming and why isn't he laying in my lap...lol

Nicely done and this one is truly magnifico! Ciao Bella, keep on writing you are getting better and better every day!

Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

Ah... I love it! So many different hidden metaphors here... but they all sing the song that is near and dear to my heart. I think this has to be my favorite of this month's writes.

Bless you and your mama heart,
