Notes About The Poem

Poetry should be felt

written 09/06/2024

Suzette poem 

 

 

Rescue of innocence

you have draped your innocence in the warmth of muslin
your dark eyes speak of your loneliness in this strange land
your lips whisper within yourself your desires
when they should be screaming out loud for justice
do not shed precious tears amongst heartless men
they might just mock you and subjugate you more
an age when most would be unfolding outer petals
you are a flower that has been robbed of its garden
your mother weeps inconsolably at home in her dark lonely room
your world was stolen from you for the pleasure of men
yet darkest corners of life have embers of god’s light
I see you I am here to rescue your innocence
I shall sweep you in strong arms of love and carry you home to safety

to mother.

Congratulations on your 4th place win, Krish. Your poem gave me pause for thought as we often live our lives with blinkers on – not wanting to know the plight of the young girls, due to circumstances, forced into the role of womanhood. The final four lines hold promise for the future – the positive influences named, culminating in the ultimate safe haven of the mother figure.
