I stand before you
exposed
ripped silk panties lying on the floor
Crimson
weeping from a woman’s wound
Spilled perfume
(my essence)
smeared upon my thighs
Innocence
stolen by your lustful blade
My fists clench in rage
eyes
blinded
blossom tears
An unknown voice whispers
“make him pay”
Revulsion washes over me
your vile spear bloats
as you boast of conquests
brag of shattered virtues
other souls left littered
other women defiled
tainted
by your depraved hunger
Again
I hear a silent command
“make him pay”
Vengeful fingers inch forward
seeking
grasping
I find succor in the coolness of a forgotten heel
Strength in a stiletto
…
You dare to taste my sorrow
Laugh
as coppery dew saturates your tongue
Is the aroma sweet to you?
Hate!
Power…
ripple through me
Screaming muscles revolt
I thrust my righteous weapon
gouging
rupturing
putrid flesh absorbs the steel
“make him pay”
you lay there - flaccid…
blood
puddles upon the floor.

Author notes
This is a prewritten poem. I don't think actually describes the act although it comes close. Let me know if you feel that it does. I'm not sure it's quite what you had in mind, but its my idea of a fitting ending.

This definately does describe the act of rape. It just doesn't have the word rape in it. This is very descriptive and well written. I think that you wrote this very creatively. It is a very powerful poem. It is sad, angry, vengful. I really do like it. Vengence is not an admirable quality, but fighting for yourself is.

great poem! i liked that alot. you made me feel like i was in the room. you put me in the shoes of a victim of rape. you really pour out emotions onto the screen in this poem. you make the reader aware of the surroundings, and put thier mind frame in the mind of a killer. great write. and you put your name on your poems great idea, i never thought about that -----can i steal?haha

HELL YEA! This is very well written and I am so glad to see this woman become empoowered to get revenge. He took something from her and now it is her turn.
good luck.

Thank you I missed that... fixed it. And yes is its right after.

You have an error in the 22cd line 'other woman defiled' either 'other' or 'woman' so it would either read
'another woman defiled' or 'other women defiled'
It does come close, it is more of after the fact, right after the rape occured, at least from my point-of-view.
