The Loss Of My Purity

-


Strike at a distance, I could feel the warm sensation
Coming closer and closer, wonder what my first time
Would be like? Many say it will be painful and I will never
Be pure again, like the Virgin Mary.
I wish I could escape this, am just not ready. I am scared.
Afraid.
Closer and closer it came until it undresses my mortal soul.
Without hesitation it rushes through me, ripping and tearing 
                    My guts away.  I was much bigger but there was nothing
         I could do. It holds the ultimate power.
                Without remorse it turns my inner being into darkness.
It didn’t even listen to my painful cry,
Nor sense the pain I was feeling.
 It is finished. 
I am no longer that pure white blank paper.
 I have been robbed of my purity by just a match.
If am touched by any force I will crumbled to pieces.
To pieces.

New Beginnings: Embracing Change and Finding Strength

-
Life is a series of chapters, each filled with its own experiences, challenges, and lessons. As we navigate through these chapters, we inevitably encounter moments that signify the end of one phase and the beginning of another. Embracing these new beginnings can be both exhilarating and daunting, but they offer us a chance to reflect, grow, and rediscover ourselves. The Importance of Closure Before embarking on a new journey, it's essential to acknowledge and process the past. Closure is a critical component of moving forward. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a lifestyle, recognizing what has come to an end allows us to honor our experiences and the lessons they imparted. It’s not always easy, but taking the time to reflect helps us to release any lingering emotions and prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. Embracing Change Change is often met with resistance.

The Seductive Stranger by Shernette Shaw- Clarke

The Seductive Stranger An uncontrollable percussive sound escaped from my chest as you approach me. The closer you get  the more my unsettled limbs expose my sense of disquietude.  The strength in my knees deserted me instantly. I have never laid eyes on such a fine human being - A paragon of a flawless consort. I struggle to maintain my vertical position as you reach for your camera. ‘You are so flawless, yet you want to capture my imperfection.’  screamed my starved mind. You looked at me with your perfect eyes- the best I’ve ever beheld. I gasp for breath. With you less than two feet away from me  everything around me immediately vanished until  you parted your ravishing lips and uttered: ‘Excuse me, lady, you are blocking my view’                                                     ...
