Rejected sacrificeA Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi
She said she loves me,
that may be or may not be true! Never a thought about it, but on my silence night, it sting on my brain, and I came to ask: What do I term love from one? Who can't be awake, to watch my sleeps. Who can't take a risk, to ensure that I live. who can't face reality, To optimize my dreams. Who can't discourage my fear, and equip me with courage. One that can't hunger for a while, to ensure that I have enough to eat. One that can't be there , in case if I fall. Without all these, Love is just a gift of lust, from a cheerful heart A battle good to fight, but spirit embarked on retreat. Goods that sweets to purchase, with prices that pains to pay. A name easy to call, but hard to respect. An adventure beneficial to venture, discouraged by hunger and tasty. A service nice to render, but faith lacks work. On these I said no! When she said yes! I'm glad I have my reasons, and on my reasons I rest the case! © 2014 Bonaventure Onuabuchi |
