A beautiful poem dedicated to all the victims of domestic violence

'Kiss with the Fist' by Ojembe Victor

The cathedral down the lane

Fully eclipsed with naïve souls

The resonating bells

Ushering the love birds

We saw flowers

Dropping from engraved plates

With hands locked in sweetness

They walked down the aisle

Their smiles resonates rusty cymbals

Laughter, giving us quick orgasm

They graciously tongue kissed

Amidst onlookers

Their first conjugal night,

Energetically blissful

Like fairytale orchard,

Releasing its elixir

Other nights,

More like sour taste

Like kiss with the fist

New yam been pounded

Her body,

A newly bought canvass

His hateful fist,

A working calligraphic pen

Like many bunch of five,

Throbbing her fleshy face

She sort for early relief

Banging the door in quick escape

She flew into heaven

But found hell.
