The Shamed Soul

A life invaded by power of base desire metamorphoses into an object inert. A being pristine and vibrant abused by the brute clutch of carnal instinct strays like strewn pearls from string snapped. The sane sense corroded by acid impulse doesn’t repent for a moment lacerating the vulnerable unworldly psyche unwary, fostering fervent dreams of belonging, decimated by savage affront unforeseen. For a body caught in cesspool of vile lust the garden of existence turns wasteland, where blown by harsh winds of disgrace plaintive mind crumpled to dust ponders, where has sanity gone in brutal times. The flower called life blooms with promise of gifting precious treasure of beauty adored. When it’s ravaged to ruins as an object dispensable love in shattered heart becomes debris of hatred, searching for a niche to hide the shamed soul. August 27, 2019 Total words (136) counted on PS.
