The Good In HerA Poem by zoecranberry..hope you like it..The Good in Her
Yesterday she came To this world so great From a mother’s womb Destined by fickle fate Referred to as One of life’s wonder Foretold that she Would triumph yonder. With hair so fine Locks of a lustrous black The skin of a silver goddess Embraced in a frosty act Her refined visage Touched by May’s early sun Would be sought after Unmistakably by everyone. As the years proceeded She took her evident rule As crème de la crème Of men who bowed like mules Chatelaine of the town Kept humble by her mother But as the parent departed Her modesty started to shatter. Worshipped by males Ever so longed Then she gave herself to men Unaware of being wronged Frequently she was visited Sometimes she even went To manors of wealthy fellows As their petty entertainment. Again and again She was violated Ridden of dignity Ethically humiliated Times have passed by And she too had been passed Through hands of different men In who knew how fast. Then one lone night After moments of pleasure Beside a sleeping young man She began to murmur: “I have sinned I’ve been wicked I have given men What they wanted Even I have reveled in This physical ecstasy But until now I couldn’t bear Any more of this debauchery Oh, Father! I do Ask for your forgiveness That I may surpass This crushing weakness I shall renew my faith And I put it unto you I will revive the child That my dear mother has given birth to.” Then she burst into Tears of regret Upon leaving the house Where she had last covet. She ran through the cobbled streets Guided by the evening’s moonlight Towards the end of town There she laid her sights Finally she came up to A crumbling house of stone Heading out to its gardens A cluster of fireflies shone. She tripped over a rock and fell Into a pool of water The deep pond where as a child She played nearby with laughter The water paralyzed her Enclosing over like a sheath Struggling against the dark grips She had her last breath. At that very moment She thought only of her mother Who knew that it was just death That could bring out the good in her. © 2009 zoecranberry |
