An imagination allowed to run wild about a woman’s perception (and descrption) of her Morning After…
~
The mist was clearing, the dawn breaking
A moment in a lifetime slipped through,
In the morning after, revealing a bliss, anew.
Turning over to face the remnants of ecstasy,
A feeling of deja vu and one of wonder
That all of it was real, that it did happen
The nuances of pain, mingled in pleasure-
A pleasure, unsurpassable by any in all worlds.
Content and sated, an unknown warmth crept over,
A feeling of wholeness, that I could live with forever.
I wondered and wondered, rapidly filled with elation,
I lay my head on his shoulder, saw the rising sun-
A small smile stole its way, with dawning comprehension
That Morning After I knew, he was in me- our Son.
That Morning After I knew, he was in me- our Son.
~
N.B. Do let me know what I need to know…
Awaiting your views Reading After!

if i am not wrong! it says the mother came to know that she is pregnant..and so on..her life changes forever…neatly put…although if my estimation of the poem is right..i have an objection….how does she know it is SON???
but that is just because i am so used to using “daughters” in my work.. 😛 😛 ..
why cant it be son?it can be son..a mother has a right!!(this is a soliloquy…i am convincing myself ):P
..nice poem.. 🙂 🙂 keep smiling…

I feel it is either a woman is blessed with a baby son this morning, she is just coming to her senses and realizing that she has indeed become a mother, but then this does not go in sync with the last line.
Or, she has just come to know about her pregnancy this morning, but this does not have much supporting facts:(
Anyway, waiting for your answer and also kind of nervous what if I am totally wrong here 😦

Hi Narendra
Thank you for your approval, Sir Poet… 😉
Why “Son”?
Hmm, the same way humans are called Man in general, an unborn child is thought in general to be a Son…
Or, maybe the woman is remembering that profound Morning After in her life, i.e. a day in the past so, she now knows it was her Son. 😛
And why are YOU feeling the mist?? 😀
Hey Ekam
I am always glad to find you here and yeah, as a woman those lines do mean something naa?
Thanks 🙂

Hi Mustaf
I gather that my poetry has completely puzzled you 😀
Actually, Morning After is usually said after a night of passion, sometimes it's sticky, sometimes the opposite of all expectations and sometimes, just amazing. In this description, with “dawning comprehension”, on the morning after, the woman realises in her heart that the passion of the night before had resulted in a child in her womb. It is said a woman understands the moment she conceives, that what I used here.
So now what do you think of piece? 🙂
Hey Adi
Thanks yaar! 🙂
No I didn't purposefully rhyme it, as Narendra had told the effort should be more on the thoughts than rhyming.
As for being multitalented. I have some talents, in others I just persevere till I become good enough! lol… 😀
Thanks again 🙂
Hi Shruti
So, are your thoughts the same? I think they are, aren't they?
By the way, read my previous post, I want Your take on it, okay, dear? 🙂
Heyy RSV
You are absolutely RIGHT!!! 🙂
It is after THE NIGHT! 😀
Talking about a woman's conviction in her heart… 🙂
Hello Chowla-ji
Yes Sir, you are right. She realises in her heart that she is pregnant. The way only a woman can. Am I right? 🙂
Hi Pramoda
Thank you dear! 🙂
Those lines do mean a lot, don't they? And please, do read the previous post and tell me… I'll be waiting. 🙂
Hiya Naveen
Thanks yaar for thinking it's beautiful!
Well, if I put “daughter”, what if the 'masculinists' cried out??? 😀
Actually, it is just a poem, just a thought, no reason!
Plus read my reply to Narendra… I actually had the woman remembering the Morning After when she had realised that she had conceived her Son… That's why I wrote capital 'S' in Son.
Still I am glad you enjoyed the piece… 🙂

Hi,
I agree I did not know the explanation of “morning after” :(. But I guessed the pregnancy part, only the “son” thing did confuse me.I had read your post on that “detached observation” from your scientific background :P, so did not expect you to be partial & write “her son”. Now I have read your explanation behind writing “son” and convinced 🙂

Hey again, Mustaf 🙂

I was NOT partial and wtote 'son', yaar! 🙂
I wrote that as that's how the lines came to me. But not to make any gender discrimaination. 😛
And if you read my “detached observation”, you should also read “There's A Reason…”, and you'll understand this is not an issure I believe in or think about! 🙂
So, what about the poem itself? Liked it?? :~))
