Nana's Lullaby
Nana
This is your lullaby
A dream ago I held you in the cradle of my arms
From the sky I hung you stars
Your eyes like the galaxy
Hold unfathomable possibilities
I stroked your soft raven feather hair
If only while I sleep I am here
In our serenity I can feel the warmth of your copper skin
As I trace your delicate little dimplesT
hose perfect sea-shell ears
I know that you are mine
As you fall into a peaceful slumber
I whisper you fairytales of worlds far from my reach
They are at your fingertips
Tonight you are mine little one
As your fingers form a clasp round one of mine
I wish this fragile grasp could hold you to me
The morning sets a warm glow upon this new
day I know soon we will drift away
Hush now little girl don’t cry for our parting
Though I’ll still cry for you
We must wait on destiny
To finally bring you to me
Until then sleep my child
Sleep and dream of me
Like I dream of you…[/font][/font][/font][/font]

...expression of love for a child which comes straight from the heart. Truly peaceful.

I thought by Nana you meant grandmother, though after reading the poem through, I'm assuming you're referring to a lover. It kind of reminds me of an anime I saw a while ago called "Nana", and the relationship between Nana and Ren.
The language you use to portray the persona's feelings is what can only be assumed as deliberately sweet, leaving one with an unquenched thirst, the thirst to know whether the lovers are reunited.

wow it's great to hear a fresh interpretation of the poem that i myself have never heard of. Infact it's about the relationship between a mother and child but it is wonderful that you can give me another dimesion to my poem that i haven't previously thought of thank you and i will have to look up this "Nana" ~*
