The Poem
My beautiful demon.
Oh my beautiful underlinen demon!
How awesome your ways are
Your gleeful arrival gifts me goosebumps
With excruciating mixed feelings
My existence that moment you seized.
Oh my beautiful underlinen demon!
Your appearance gives me unreserved strength
To showcase my unsolicited talents
Of five minutes insanity at intervals
What a mannerless August visitor you are.
Oh my beautiful underlinen demon!
My entire being awaits you at
Every full moon but freaked out
On hearing your first knock
Because you art my mumu botton.
Oh my beautiful underlinen demon!
Your existence reminds me of
The virtuous woman I've become and
My tenancy contract in my father's building
As I will bid him fairwell sooner or later.
Oh my beautiful underlinen demon!
I await your friendly visit without pain
To embrace you with smile and laughter
So my sanity check can be permanent
For I am your closest confidant.
The Story
It was one of those days when as a female, I wished I could turn back the hands of time, lol.
When every monthly flow comes with excruciating pain and funny enough, you can't do anything to stop it.
So, I was having one of those episodes when the inspiration to write came, word for word, line by line, it rolled into stanzas and that was how my pain birthed this poem that I titled "My Beautiful Demon."
