Kira Price Poet Couplet

Black Veils

Almost like wearing an eternal hat of shame
Black veils hide the blame
Shadowy onlookers dying to see under the opaque 
Their eyes deepened in curiosity expecting some day the veil would break 
Dawn never looked so dark before
Horizons under veiled eyes once more
Continuously blocking out your connectors to the world
Denying your difference a chance to be accepted 
Ashamed boy, Ashamed girl
However, credit to living freely, your body you’ll show
While in tack stays the veil; behind it, no people will know
Black tints faded into black shades, made
Partially reflective, partially transparent; one-sided mirror blades
Unveil and remove one trains of thoughts
To grab a hold of a world that lets you teach as you will be taught
Almost like wearing an honored hat of truth
No veil, just the bare nature of you

Pace Ink-U-Script April 1, 2014 at 10:40 AM I read this once you posted it...not sure why I didn't post a comment at the time. But I treasure how in depth you are with society, yourself and pretty much life around you. You are very observant. A skillful artist indeed!! Kira Price April 1, 2014 at 4:36 PM Wow thanks so much! If you didn't know I am most definitely a fan of your work too! Sometimes I feel like I am not as advanced at writing as some of you but comments like this helps me feel a lot better! :-)

Poet Tacito February 19, 2014 at 10:47 PM Even through the darkened shades, the true identity shines ever so clearly...through the pain...through the cuts. This was so poignant. Fantastic job!

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri February 18, 2014 at 5:07 AM Yes the black veil remains intact as it is a powerful shield against rape and sexual exploitation. For all muslim ladies it is a code of honour, like a gentle coat of armour.
