In the darkness of an evening <br />Nascent was I just on earth <br />Endured with pain were you there on <br />Ready to brook further long <br /> <br />Painful was I allthrough my teens <br />An arrogant snob much I haunted you <br />Harsh words, raged anguish... <br />Unaware of defiling myself <br /> <br />Passed twenty despicable did I grow <br />To placate my lust got me married <br />My incited lousiness, was my wife stamped <br />Dilemmatic became the children <br /> <br />Brainless became worthless into a jobless <br />Wordless was I in my benighted abyss <br />Drunkard became penniless, lately realised <br />Muddled in isolation when fifty <br /> <br />Fearful sins in a cold-sweat frightened me <br />Endearment, much longed by me <br />Disregarded although you favoured me <br />Forgiving, forgetting... still love me mamma?<br /><br />Indira Renganathan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/baby-talk/
