A baby, Crystal, was born yesterday.
On the floor in a blanket today she does lay.
Her mother in despair has lost her way.
So much food to buy and bills to pay.
Where is her father, she hears herself say.

If only his beautiful babe he could see.
He would shout out in gladness, get down on his knee.
Be full of happiness and dance with glee.
Oh where... oh where could he be?

"It's not mine!, It's not mine!"
He cried out with malice
After drinkng the wine from that bottle....that chalice.
As if he were some kind of king in a palace.

And as much and as long as he has been sought
A royal king or a knight in armor he is not.
For by his absence he has hurt them a lot.
If only.....If only....he would quickly be caught.
Pay for support or in jail he would rot.

Although love doesn't dwell in his cold heart of hearts,
At least mother and babe would have one good fresh start.
A chance to love and be loved......never to part.

That was lovely, hon. I like the way meter and rythem were changed up a bit. The words bring on feelings of anger, hate and most of all sadness; a little too much emotion for me to digest today but that just glorifies it that much more in my book (as if I were still writing one) pun intented.

Did you write that beuatiful piece dear? Because its great!

And when the hell did you modify your name? Where have I been?

Here's another sad. But inspiring poem.

Thank you for your nice comments, Girty. And yes, I write all my own poetry.

Gee, I hope you're not confusing me with someone else. I've never modified my name.

Girty is thinking of a different Isis ..

Nativechick, thanks for clearing that up for me. Gee, I hope she still thinks my poem is cool.

Ooh today you are a sleek sly cat[avatar]. I do miss the pink basketball though and I hope you will post it sometime again in the future.

Wow ... Isis, that is an awesome poem ... dead beat dads, the case many times - 'tis sad.

Oh yeah .. I'll be bringing back the pink ball ..

Thank you, Nativechick. I have a few more sad ones, but I don't want to post them all at once because they're kinda depressing. Hey, on a good note, I luv those lips! I have really enjoyed all your different image graphics. It adds a nice touch to the forum.
