The Lotus Flower

<><><>

I am your lotus

That you forgot

And left by riverside

Where women wash

With babes

Pressed to their breasts

<><><>

You took me beneath

Magnolia

And sighing

I shed a tear

Of what would

Now become

<><><>

I squeeze the

Damask cloth

That binds me

To another world

Where I am free

<><><>

Hi Emma,
 
This poem has a mysterious soft quality to it which I like...with few words once again you create a fabulous image.

Thanks Valerie,
 
I was playing around with this poem yesterday - not quite sure what I was thinking about when I wrote it.

Very well written Emma, quite brief but with a quality feeling to it. And as VJ says....rather mysterious...nice poem. : )lb

Perhaps it 'is' the brevity of these words, Emma, but I felt it had an eastern touch to it, like a translation of something which became softly misted in reading.
 
You are experimenting well, I like to change from one to another as it lets you play with words and innuendo. I enjoyed this one very much, Zydha

Thank Zy,
 
I think with this I was retracing my jewish roots - its weird but every now and again I have to travel down that path.
