So You Think

A poem about questions

So You Think?

So you think your attractive?
luscious hair black as night caressing your shoulders
captivating wisps threaded through wind
dancing free not seeking approval 
like nobody is watching

My heart sinks when I catch your eye
 silk dress sweeps the floor 

as you flutter your lashes

"do I care to dance?"
so you think I can dance?
I can be no comparison to your hair that moved so freely

your intent to seduce me is not well met

shock as I decline your request

What am I doing later?
so you think I have no other plans?
why do you assume I'm vacant
be careful where you place your hands

breaths sharpen,eyes widen 
do I like that?
so you think forcing your hand upon me is acceptable?
battling with my own self righteousness

Pushed into an empty space
shirt ripped open embraced by stockings of lace 

do I want this?
the answer is no
but can a male scream rape? 

Author's Note

I didn't want this poem to flow as much as my usual style I want you to fill in the blanks picture the scenes and ask the questions

What a question... I guess... I don't know. I was going to start trying to define rape, but women can scream rape even if they were just very very drunk or drugged or something, so we can't say it's about a physical struggle...
I don't know. Wow.
What a way to make a girl think.

needs a bit of editing other than that I liked it a lot. Its good to get out of your comfort zone makes one a better writer I think. I liked that it did not flow made it feel more intense and real glad to see your posting again I missed reading your work always inspiring

Wow. The scences did fly through my mind, and i shuddered with the feelings conveyed. Fingers tipping up my spine in horror and bewilderment as you captured everything intensely right down to the end. Very well done! The flow was abstract to the norm, and darker and deeper than i could ever imagine. Just, wow. It's amazing, and well done. Bravo. The images are still in my head, haunting me.
