The Puppies Are Crying:by Beverly T. Daniel(Copyright 2012)

The puppies are crying …
We hurt
Through day’s dawning
‘Til the curtain call
Sunset…
Tailed by the silence of night
He cries
E’er the silent anguish
She cries
soft almost inaudible whimpers muffled in her pillow
Could you hold her until the pain
fades
Could you hold him
Until the blossom of the lotus
Until the oven with mama’s bread taunts and haunt aromas of his childhoods past
When bliss was his play
And …
Could you still keep holding her
long enough
until the disillusion of her womanhood come to
cease
Until the puppies stop crying
Could you hold her
Until the puppies stop crying
Could you hold him
Could you hold him
Until the puppies stop crying
Until the puppies stop crying…
