Not a virgin

Yes, I’m not a virgin anymore
when you cracked me open
like halves of walnuts
stuffed me with stories of yore

Yes, I’m not a virgin anymore
your curiosity
has pried open my frigid heart
left numb to the core
those fingers racing
up and down
searching for the scars
I adore

Yes I’m not a virgin anymore
you pierce and break open the doors
the memories start gushing in
there is no boundary
nothing defined
between the steps of heaven
and gore

Yes, I’m not a virgin anymore
your perfunctory acts of passion
leaves my sweltered soul
and a pallid body
become a symbol of our
concocted love

Yes I’m not a virgin anymore
the sacredness and innocence
dripping from my fingertip
are now tainted with
crimson tinged
lost love, I
so feverishly implore

Yes I’m not a virgin
anymore
you have a rent
on my body and
a  lien on my soul.

A soul frozen in time
I’m not a virgin anymore.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  3. Well that was graphic. I do like the threaded emotion you’ve put in, a dose of regret and judgement on the culprit that have done you wrong, yet I love the flow of the poem and dynamic shift in tempo. Well done. I admire your versatile skills. 😀 Bravo. 😀

    WOW. For me the experience would be best described as ‘shared fumbling relief’ (hard emotion to write a stirring poem on!) but this deftly captures a very different experience, one that results in a ‘rent on my body and a lien on my soul’. Powerful – what an insight!
