Khudheeja in Poetry & Free Verse

Vengeance

You open my throat as I lie in your arms

Hatred and love twist in your eyes 

An avenging demon, mane till your waist

Flecked by crimson, soul-deep rage

Struggling out a rasping cry 

Painting the sheets a living red

Sculptured face contorted in pain 

Shock and betrayal splinter his gaze

Her family's faces burn in her vision

Their screams sear actoss her mind 

Red gaping smiles, eat to ear

So shall their killer die
