A brand new day!
Birds-a-chirping, Flowers-a-blooming
People-a-chattering, cockerels-a-crowing
Sunlight-a-filtering, the dew-a-drizzling
The Sun gently rising
The moon gradually retreating
He woke, his intentions devilish
She woke, her musings pretty
Their essence seperated by distance
Their destinies unattached as far as space was concerned
He went out on a mission
She departed by virtue of a vision
Aimlessly through the day he roamed
Causing commotion wherever he did go
Purposefully her activities she executed
Leaving in her wake a trail of good deeds
Night fell yet he pranced and prowled
Wandering through all the dangerous alleys
She set for home a tad too late
Flinched everytime at the sight of haunting shadows
The rains they came all of a sudden
Beating angrily like demons let loose
From left to right there was no cover
She ducked, she dove, no respite yet still
She stopped at a shed panting furiously
Thought she was alone but then heard a sigh
Looked behind, it was occupied by another
He had been beaten too but offered a smile
The streets were deserted, the rains deafening
She had a feeling uncanny and wanted to flee
A look at the torrents, she had to stay
He drove his fingers through his hair
Sipped a drink, another sigh
The rains poured yet, surely no going home
He fell and shivered, she rushed to rescue
With her shawl innocently she did wrap him
He grabbed and drew her closer
Planted his lips on hers brashly
Terrified she screamed, he wouldn’t let go
She kicked, she bit, he held still, a wry smile
Sounds muffled she knew she was in trouble
She wanted to flee, his strength boundless
He got on top and slapped her twice
Her legs he parted with his strong hind-limbs
She fought the tears and bit her lips
Her clothes he tore, eyes gleaming with devilish passion
Nature was cruel, no one to the rescue
He plunged and thrusted, she cried and moaned
A dog barked from afar, wagged its tail in displeasure.
He lay back well spent
She curled up, couldn’t vent
He slept soundly, she sobbed loudly
The downpour yet heavy, he slumbered
Down her face the tears flowed freely
A beep, a crow, it soon was dawn
She stood to leave, he stirred not still
