HER

 

 

 

 

HER

 

Passion fails;

Love hurts;

Desires explode;

All on the field-

Her body!

She cries from intimacy,

she cries from heart ache,

the first, sweet,

but a whole mixture

of painful pleasures.

No shame lies beneath-

This open pride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UNSPOKEN

 

 

UNSPOKEN

 

We are murdered

not by the things we said,

but by words unuttered.

Wild darts on the chest

crafted by greedy “M.”

The scars on the face

like the map of a country

burdened by guilt and regret.

The heavy band on her finger

tells her to push further.

“for better for worse,”

Wasn’t that the vow?

The daily dose of slaps,

accompanied by blows,

the constant song of “useless woman,”

do not warn her.

She dies slowly,

not for what she said

but what she didn’t.
