Carnal ...

Blog 391:

No coronation for you
No flowing virgin gown
No church bells
No social circles in celebration
No get-away carriage
Not even a deliriously sweet honeymoon!
 
In the heat of passion
Or in consensual betrayal
Your naiveté … your innocence …
That once upon well-guarded virtue
You vanished in one torrid carnal burn
Consummated in a split second
But forever … it is lost!

What goes now?
In an eye blink … sperms he released into your womb
Penetrated one life-giving egg within
And in a flash … union of cells quickly formed a prospective life …
A few days … a month … a growing life could not hide
Your once flat belly bed bulges and protrudes
It announces a life overhanging
But sadly in disgrace
Your scarlet mark spreads further
Your cross to carry is outright
It clamors for a resolve
 
You must decide to groan, crawl or stand tall
You alone must choose a path to walk 
Or live in the shadows of lasting shame
Amidst crowd of an unforgiving lifetime!
