Screaming Silence Poem by Wendy Bureau

Screaming Silence

Rating: 3.5


An unspoiled virgin love
White orchid innocence
Precious, pure, youthful
Sacrificed, no consequence

Taken so mercilessly
A ruthless compassion
Degraded, violated
By lust's dirty passion

A man of vulgar heart
Cold, refined, twisted
A magician of the mind
If ever, one existed

Seductive lies, unleashed
Constricting, as if bound
Crystal tears forever stain
Sedated, crying, without sound
