Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Snapshot of a Kidnapped Bride

SNAPSHOT OF A KIDNAPPED BRIDE

Stolen from her mother’s womb
~ The heart blessed by God ~
She succumbs to terror’s tears.

Demon holds his gun and her.
She’s a prize of war,
A babe – a nothing to him.

Blood-streaked face – a mother cures,
With cooling wash cloth - - -
She’s lost in child’s eyes – far away.

This bride, dressed in black and blue,
Delivered to dark - - -
Raping, beating, mocking, hate

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 28, 2017 at 1:18 PM Wow, visceral write Kim. Kim Rodrigues March 28, 2017 at 1:28 PM Thanks, Maureen! I think of this snapshot a young child that was kidnapped by a terrorist. It was and still is heart wrenching!
