Relationship quakes with bitter aches <br />I gave it all but lost to lust <br />My heart is shut… emotions dulled <br />Never again! ! ! … I moan in pain. <br /> <br />Aggrieved, transfixed in lonely bliss <br />They come, I gate… “Not this time mate” <br />Whispers, they say… “Could he be gay? ” <br />With chauvinist rage, in bed we played. <br /> <br />No strings attached, point made… depart! ! ! <br />Nine months brings retro-life remorse <br />A child, a gift, my life long dream <br />So sweet, I melt in awesome glee <br /> <br />Love struck, at peace, progressive spree <br />Now who said, “Damn, I won’t agree”? <br />Turns out that we were meant to be… <br />Praise be… I will it all to thee.<br /><br />Fred Omorogbe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-reluctant-father/
