It is estimated up to 4000 date rapes occur in Australia per year- that is disgusting and makes most men angry.  It was raining and cold outside when I wrote this. Sad.

Red lights in her eyes were slow, full of laze, 
Her feet conversed with the black,
As she stepped a vague step into a daze, 
Her feet were under attack,

Then she fell to the ground like a petal on dew, 
She lay like a rose in a lake,
Still dancing with a colourful blur of a shade, 
Like she did when she was awake,

And her blur faded slowly to a comfortable grey, 
Her mind faded to a tranquil serene,
Where she drifted along like two lovers in rain, 
Two lovers you find in a dream,

And she never found out who stole who she was, 
When she was unable to think,
She never found out who planted the seed, 
Who spiked her evening drink.

i'm not always a fan of quatrain rhyme but this is a good poem, the last stanza being particularly strong - i especially like the line "she never found out who stole who she was"..thank you for your comment on my poem

Date rape is an increasing problem in many places, thanks for highlighting this crime so poetically Lewis. One of the most moving poems I have read on soup is Rape by Charlotte Puddifoot. hugs jan xx

Charlotte's poem is one of the most powerful poems I have read on soup - for so many reasons I wish it could be studied in schools. hugs Jan xx
