Cambodian Flower
by Norma Martiri
Falling petals brush her face
Fantasies fill time and space.
Mae’s soft kisses touch her cheeks
A kind whisper quietly speaks.
Desperation tugs and bays
Darkness fills the longest days.
Sweaty faces, frenzied hands
Sunny beaches, waves and sands.
Dirty kisses lick her neck
Torture keeps rebels in check.
Favourite games with her best friends
Heavy breathing, soon it ends.
Lotuses float overhead
How she wishes she were dead.
