The Veil She Wore

Veil she wore

The night unfolded, like the thin veil

lifted off her wan visage, bearing her life at the other end

producing self employed malefactors, desperately failing to mend.

Her eyes reflecting infernal distress,

with retrospection to the nights -she longed to forget.

No sooner did it haunt her cognizance,

delirious primarily, afflicted next.

Generosity thanked not with misused sovereignty,

pain coupled terminally with anxiety.

Dreamt in color, faded into darkness,

suppressed her lips coarse, uttering words her creation extinguished.

She lay there nude, stripped.

Beliefs contradicted by ignorant rapists.

What rights do the “innocent” hold? violating its progenitors immortal soul.

A chiseled hole, a crater bent, minute fraction- day spent.

Author's Note

Once you read the poem, re-read it keeping in mind,, this time that the woman is actually a symbol for mother earth.

Then last verse is oh so powerful and sad. You are so right when you say we are raping and stripping what should be a wonderful inheritance for the next generations.
You have captured the dark aspect perfectly. I wish it were a fantasy!
Thoughtful and thought provoking.

I did the same as you mentioned, I re-read this write after once I read ... and yeah, when I read it once, I didn't feel what I felt after read this again ... I hate such kinda folks, it's a shame on not even only those rapists but on those everyone who just make a fun of it. Your feelings;re very strong and well penned into the words, your words're quiet of high vocabulary too and I even used Google to search their meanings and that's what touched my heart because your the one, I think, whose poem took my much time to read it carefully and believe me ... I didn't waste my time in it but Utilize and gained some new words ... you've showed me some real moments of someone's life through this poem and it's really very shameful for those who still do such kinda bad things with angels. I hate it! I hate seeing angels getting hurt!

Aalia, your good at writing dear one.
By the way, If you don't mind, May I ask, has this poem come from your own real life or someone's real life???

Rape is such a harsh word and unfortunately it is perfectly suited to what is going on! One can hope this is a little less thought provoking and a little more action provoking…just thoughts alone never brought about any change.
“Dreamt in color, faded into darkness”…great line!

"One can hope this is a little less thought provoking and a little more action provoking" Well said, we should all start doing our part! Thank you for the feedback! :D

No right they had , to do and rape , the girl the ,Earth, No right to seep into the world the way they have, now others will judge and give them a rope so they can swing, solid to another realm. and your poem spots the light and me I , I like it.
