MOTHER by Csaba Mera

her son awakens on sheets

that were her sails

filled with the lusty breath of life

he sees her face

on other faces

in other faces

he smells her fragrant presence

in acacia breezes

and orange blossoms

he sees her soft eyes

in the edge of a still winter night

full of life yet

full of sadness

tender loving brown eyes

that seemed to presage the agonies

that would torment her

he sees her mouth

whose smiles

were kisses

and whose anger

was love

he remembers well

her sweet blind innocence

crushed crumbled

like the petals of a crisp dry rose

whose form though gone

is brought to mind

by the gentle fragrance

left behind

so he recalls

the innocence

the love

the grace

and how these virtues

blessed his dear

MOTHER
