Caught in a Wave: Poetry of a Hectic Life

By Dominique E. ZseDenny

Marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, separation, a custody battle with the
state, divorce, relationships, family dilemmas, and much more, all in
a few years; hectic does not even come close to describing these years,
but that is what the poetry is for.

Join my mind in its chaotic journey through the last few years that
have been anything but boring. Just remember, whereas most of my
poetry is based on fact and experience, a select few are merely dreams;
your fun is deciphering one from the other.

About the Author

This book is dedicated to my family.

No matter what life throws our way, we stick together and stand by one another. Life has been tough on us all, and our love for each other keeps us going strong. Above all, the love I feel for my little boy is what keeps me going day by day.

I would also like to say thank you to the amazing man who re-entered my life after a very long absence; you truly hold my heart, as you have since I gave it to you all those years ago, I am glad I can say I once again feel whole.

Part I:

My Angel

Life Inside

Life,

Growing inside

Bringing a smile

To my face.

Sweet and innocent

Getting stronger each day

Soon to arrive.

Days go by

And the anticipation grows,

Loving this life

Growing inside.

Time to Arrive

The wonder of the world

Each day an event to remember

While the pain, you only hope to forget.

Every joy comes measured by pain,

So this is truly the greatest joy of all.

I love you dearly, above all else,

With you my heart is over flowing

With you in my arms, I find bliss.

Seeing You

So sweet and pure

I thought for sure

You’d have an Angel’s golden hair,

With baby blue eyes to match.

You’d be a catch

And all the world would stop and stare.

But you my Angel,

Came to be

With the sweetest look of all.

Chocolate eyes and chocolate hair,

With the brilliance of love in your stare.

Warmth

My bundle

Wrapped tight

Held to my chest,

Is there anything more precious?

My Angel

Bundled from the cold

And held in my arms.

A Gift to a Mom

My Angel is a gift to me

A present in my care.

So that I may love and care

Until my days are done.

I was a mother, the day I knew,

His life was entwined with mine.

And I became a mom in the second

His gaze locked in on mine.

And from that time on, I’ll be his mom

Until the end of time and more.

My Angel

Wrapped in my arms

He was perfect;

All cute smiles

And gurgling coos,

I fell in love.

With a yawn

And a stretch of his little arms,

He stole my heart.

My Angel,

My love,

This baby in my arms

This Angel in my life,

Is pure happiness and joy.

Halfway There

I glance at his face,

Over his first bite of food,

And smile in pride at my big boy.

Half a year has passed

Since he entered my world,

And he’s halfway to

The first party of his birth.

My precious boy,

With a smile and a laugh,

He goes for
