Sweet Lullabies

by Lofallenve   May 15, 2012


Saccharine, as if honey dripped from her lips,
While her babe lay weary from the day;
Enunciating fictional stories of heroes,
Entering battles, rescuing the damsel.
Tales of lore before sleep takes it course,
Lulling the young down the path of slumber.
Under the security of her blankets,
Love from a mother drifts in the air,
Like the scent from a lit candle in the night.
Ambrosial words drift off the mother's lips;
Beauty in the words, beauty in the imagination
Insistent,eyes close, flying to the castle in the air.
Entering her dreams, she hears her mother speak.
Saccharine, as if honey dripped from her lips.

(My first ever acrostic poem! :3 )

    Very nice, love the words you use in it as well.
    The love a mother has for her Child is uncomprehendingly powerful as she serenades her child to sleep. Priceless.

    I like the way you write saccharine in starting part and in the ending. Very creative of you, I like the rhythm and the imagery. Nice penned:)
