Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition
Her tickled skin imprinted from sleep, the light shone dearly on her eyes.
They flickered;
Once or twice a pierced soul, not one could despise.
A curious hand, an adventurous foot, that cracked sole hit the day,
They assumed, were telling, but she was not yet done her play.
She overtook the virile ones, an angel, overshadowing from above,
At night she silently disappeared, still favoured,
By their hurtful love.
Discerning nature, executed hours,
The girl knew the end but not the start,
Yet she held all the scars within her, for all that would be left,
Her unassailable heart.
