MOM

As she slept on one side of the bed,

I laid my eyes on heaven's loveliest creation.

I took her hand in mine and placed it gently on my forehead,

Feeling the love penetrating through the dermis, I soaked in the vibration.

The waves travelled through my nerves, lacrimals stimulated.

Love so pure that your heart explodes yet your mind feels rested.

I sew those oscillations into a music and kept it in the safest corner of my hippocampus,

So I can revisit it when I'm searching for some light to ignite my conscience.
