playing in the lap of dreams
Adorned by silver beams
Eyes deserve the nursury rhyme
As if they stole Italian wine .
Seeing the picture in album
When will my papa come
Putting knife on sweet cake
Promises papa always break .
Oil of pain in the lamps of eyes
Papa will come , no more cries
Mumma , sing a saucy song
Why silence , what's wrong ?
She enjoys her innocence
In the dark veil of ignorance.

Well written,a very sad poem. Your poem revolves around the themes of childhood innocence, longing, and the pain of abandonment.
Thank you for read and interpretation .
Your words much appreciated.
You're welcome.
Priya, this one aches softly…the child’s voice so pure it hurts. The innocence makes the heartbreak sharper. You’ve painted absence with tenderness. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks for read and fav.
Much appreciated .
Adults lie to the point where they can't lie no more.
The child grows to the realisation of those lies, and that can go either way as they go forward in life.
It's true .
Thank u so much .
