So Very Roughly Taken

Neville

So Very Roughly Taken

 

Beneath that now famous

cheesecloth dress of hers

 

she tried so hard to cross

her legs and hold her breath ..

 

Having never dreamed

of being forced to kiss through

 

helpless, flailing arms,

clenched fists and teeth before ..

            Those last four lines paint the picture.
            We live in a troubled time, but this has gone on for centuries.
            Short and concise and to the point, a piece of master craft. - Phil A.

              No thrills at all here you say it like it is and unfortunately in your incredible line of work darling Nev, you see this all too often, it's people like you who are 100% selfless to take the time to help others and I can only speak as 1 woman but I say thank you a thousand times. 💓

              • Neville



                I am struck dumb as well as smitten .. how kind you are & how red in the face am I .. ❤️

              • orchidee

                is it a terrible thing, though I been diverted by cheesecloth.
                Can ya beat cheese, like you can beat an egg? It's getting late in the day - causes me to utter more nonsense than usual! lol.

                Thank you dear Nev for tackling a subject that women have always struggled with in just about every imaginable place. Kudos my friend!

                  all abusers and rapist's
                  should have the words
                  'deserved it' and a mini skirt
                  tattooed on their foreheads for life
                  so everyone can understand
                  how depraved and ignorant
                  that thought process, truly is!
                  (an important write Hyung
                  and yes, our gender has a long
                  way
                  to go, before we can begin
                  to comprehend the collective depths
                  of our generational crimes)
                  still, we who acknowledge
                  and wage a war, against
                  that societal monster we know too well
                  must believe in a better
                  and do what we can
                  hoping, somehow
                  it may accumulate to being enough
                  to offset what evil is committed
                  by the weak, spineless men of the world

                    well spoked my friend .. many thanks for that most worthy & welcome addendum .. Neville
