Shame

As he parted her legs
And unveiled her "shame"
She knew for sure, she was left with a "sting"

Did she relish the forbidden pleasure bit by bit,

The pleasure of munching a stolen chocolate

Did she not care for the world, just made a note of it in her diary of experiments

Or did her eyes water, with the pain of breaking the sacred glass bowl

Her thoughts struggled like asphyxiated fish

Thoughts that forced motion, from peace to chaos and back

Not resting anywhere or on anyone

She wrote "shame" again and again

On everything
Mirrors, handkerchiefs, walls and even thin air

Tried to erase "shame", from everything, seen and unseen

Yet, she tossed and turned in her bed, sleep left her

And "shame" peeped through her fatigued eyelashes,playing sly games of hide and seek.
