Beyond the long and often lonely wait,
Beset by urges strange from deep within
Pulsate demands to culminate
In Motherhood
The gasping presence fights with strength supreme,
And bursting bonds of month-long celled restraint
Brings birth power, awesome yet serene
To Motherhood
Wakes new a love unique, and all=consumes
The momentary fret at life's emerge.
Repays with joy in hearts attuned
With Motherhood.
Never cell so warm or sweet the chains
Of jailor's irresistable commands.
Crying everlasting claims
On Motherhood.
Offspring of love, and herald of yet more.
Bequething back inherited content.
Open wide this most rewarding door
Of Motherhood.
I think you have summed up giving birth so well here Fay, that rush of love a mother feels for her newborn baby is unique, Lynda xxx
Superbly evocative and wonderfully descriptive. A glimpse into a process that a man can never truly appreciate.
Amazing! Very well written about giving birth. I love this poem as a mother I can relate with this. When a woman gave birth there's no word could ever explain the feelings she had the moment she saw her child.10 for this. best regards, joan d.h.

You express (in beautiful iambic pentameter and with gentle metaphor) this earth shattering moment when unconditional love shows its face and the world forever changes. 'Never cell so warm or sweet the chains Of jailor's irresistable commands.' is particularly evocative. Wonderful poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
