BETRAYED IN THE MORNING.A Poem by M.K. JOSEPHTo all who were heart broken,whatever the reason was...don't wait.Always by the riverside, I wait. For you to appear behind me. And fold my eyes, and I would tell it’s thee… From the scent
of thy tender flesh. The skies darken- pregnant with clouds, my heart faint. Another day without a kiss for me. One thousand, two hundred and three… I count since you
quit these love so fresh. The path seems long and lonely. Without you panting by my side. Oh! How I miss your laughter… A voice,
sweeter than song thrush. Why! Why! Why did you have to kill something so lively? Of two destined to live beside. I don’t recall seeing your father… When we made
vows to each other, hiding by the bush. Home is still a long way. Tomorrow I’ll be back again. To pay homage to own created shrine… Where I always wait,
where we first met. First drop falls whilst I’m on the way. Drenched I get with nothing to gain. And wash down everything of mine… But memories of the river, when we first met.
