Don't Let Love Be a Lasso of Some Sort

by Everlasting   Sep 5, 2016


Hey friend, don't let this love of yours
be some kind of rope
a lasso of some sort
thrown above your collarbone

You know? Sometimes...
Life is like a ranch
where humans live as calves:
eating pasture
and fruit off a branch;
enjoying, freedom
till they meet a espouse

then women become like cows
producing milk, feeding a child
till they feel trapped, like
in a stable like,
awaiting for the time
they could see the sun again
and feel alive

But hey friend, don't let this love of yours
be some kind of rope
a lasso of some sort
thrown above your collarbone

Remember cupid isn't a cowboy
And humans aren't cattle
You are a woman,
a fantabulous to be mother
feeding a baby boy

Oh remember that well
Oh remember that very well

    Lucero, I always look forward to reading your work because its so unique and always inspiring.

    We are all humans but sometimes becoming a parent (I guess) can make us feel a little less human and more 'mum.'
    Great write, Em
