One Poem by Adrian David

 



Mimosa

 

His bloodshot eyes go down her bust

as his serpentine mind gets flooded with lust.

 

Touching her in places never touched before,

her tender body starts feeling too sore.

 

With his every stroke filling her with dread,

she is running out of tears to shed.

 

Like a hungry animal ravaging its prey,

he steals her precious childhood today.

 

Being ripped apart by a monster so insane,

she silently screams in unbearable pain.

 

The scars on her body may fade away,

but the ones in her mind are here to stay.

 

“Keep this a secret.” He flashes her a wicked smile,

deceiving the little girl yet again with his fatal guile.

 

Not wanting to drive him mad,

she stutters innocently, “Okay, Dad.”
