Love & Adultery

Some rivers are not worth crossing, some journeys are not worth embarking on neither are some songs worth being written. I craved for something unique, like our names engraved on a tree's skin, so young teens can have a story to boost their love dreams. Seeing you and I as the love team that went the extreme. I wanted all this, a love life that's so bliss but my expectations decreased. What I had never pleased me, It only teased me of the deceased fire within me. Am I to blame for not feeling the flame, wish you felt the same but you were carried away by the little fame. I needed that chain connection that says we're on the same lane. I wish you've been listening so you can know my words have got deep meaning. I never regretted my action because it brought me satisfaction. We shared my burden while on the bed cuddling. It was meant to be you but when I said come, you said it was too sudden. Your voice became strange, it was replaced by someone within the same range. You went for events, it was more important than making up with me on my bed. She came at night, to occupy the space with the hope of being my bride. I still called your name because the feelings were still the same, she just smiled with a hidden pain in her heart. We kissed at A.M while you were on the podium smiling and not wondering what I was doing. The bond grew stronger and it didn't feel wrong. During quiet hours, I thought of how our love has gone sour. I've replaced you for a minute, hoping you will return in less than an hour. I still love you but I've got another to make me happy.

Great writing Olumegbon. During quiet hours, I thought of how our love has gone sour...replace you for a minute...the regret is there with all the messy sadness and blame.....she didn't give him time; put him as high as the podium...I especially love the first line...Some rivers are not worth crossing, some journeys are not worth embarking on neither are some songs worth being written...explanations in the game of love..she said too sudden (too soon)...the character here seems to be driven by ego and needs and in love we have to accept if we stay together in peace, we will change each other, make each other better. Enjoy your writing. Thank you. Dale

Hard place to be. A confused woman is very dangerous.

When a marry lady is playing. Creating a bomb ready to destroy many lives. A very good poem for conversation. Marry ladies don't kiss and tale. But can lead us to dangerous waters. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

One of the qualities I like most in your work is the stream of consciousness approach. This poem doesn't feel crafted, as such, but rather felt. Emotional depth, as I've said before, is your strong suit. I like that you've managed to elevate your work in such a short time, you might remember my criticism of your earlier work. You are definitely moving in the right direction, creating strong lyricism without divorcing from the nature of the depth your work relates. This is great.

Very good writing, Olumegbon. I think one of your best ones. Just like Ana said, you can't wait forever, at some point you have to take a stand. Very well done. :) Rudi

This is quite heartbreaking. I guess there's only so much you can wait on someone to return the love in the same manner you give it. There are always both sides to this.
