Acts Of Cruelty Poem by Afzal Shauq
Acts Of Cruelty
She gives me her hand
with sweet smiles....
But hidden beneath
her innocent facade
acts of cruelty.
For if by accident
we should touch...
Her anger rages...
With clench teeth she lunges
like a lion at fresh flesh.
With fear I repel
in an act of submission.
She concentrates
scanning me
from head to toe.
Flashing her deceptive smile
I see lust in her eyes...
With the tip of her tongue
she moistens her lips...
So I respond and smile
