Poem - Young Girl of Sixteen

Sleeping peacefully.

Their breathing in gentle rhythm,

With the morning breeze,

Drifting softly through the half drawn blinds.

The two of them.

In their silent world,

They lay in a cocoon,

Of tranquil starlight,

Which shares their dreams of a pleasant memory.

The two of them.

The world awakes,

With the morning symphony,

Of a new dawn.

Through the blinds a shaft of morning sunlight finds,

The two of them.

The young girl awakes.

Startled at the sight of her naked body, exposed to his gaze.

Hurriedly she closes the blinds to hide the guilt of,

The two of them.

The young girl blushes, As the naked stranger awakes,

And comes to her.

Sobbing she runs away from that room,

But not the memory of,

The two of them.
