Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

Innocence Taken

INNOCENCE TAKEN

Weighty muteness surrounds her
It crushes the stagnant air
Wraps humiliating memory
In black, blue, navy nightmare.

Unable to breath or embrace
Hopeless emptiness of sound
Distrust and fears that linger
Long after rapist left her bound.

Voice silenced, shattered, muffled
Only roaches hear deadened cries
Wet tears and red stain evidence
Camouflage body …left traumatized.

Debbie Duncan March 2, 2018 at 3:26 AM Love the write. :) Barbara Barry-Nishanian March 2, 2018 at 12:55 PM Debbie thank you, and I like it too. Almost seems like my pen took off and I went along for the ride. So, so, different from my witty writes.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian February 22, 2018 at 5:03 PM Friend...I think I'm watching too many "Criminal Mind" repeats. This came out a surprise!!!
