Inviting Eyes of Deception
A gentle,quite boy,not more than fourteen,
was lured by a much older girl
with lots of frickles and curly,red hair;
and her sweet name was Lucy...
We found our escape
in an alley where light never filtered;
it happened under
unexplained circumstances,
and as unfortunate as they might have been,
this adolescent suddenly lost
his virginity by the hands
of someone unregarding his mental state!
My aunt Rose caught me
in that unacceptable behavior
and slapped me hard,and told me
not to do it again!
How many boys like me,
innocent and mellow,
went through that same stage;
and had somebody touch them
in the most unthinkable place?
And I should have told Mother..
when Lucy led me to explore
what was too early to know;
inviting eyes of deception,
why did you choose me
and take away my innocence?
Lucy,you hurt that boy,with an unknown word,
and I wash all your sin with my forgiveness,
never to remind again a sensation I didn't seek:
to teach me what a growing child shouldn't have!
Lucy,everything felt like kindness;
and you gave for the wrong reasons,without guilt,
to get your reward of pleasure...
by offering me that intense desire
with inviting eyes of deception,
and harming me with intention!
