Fortune Of A Fault Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Once, in bed I lain in fright
Due to night that was at might
Stars in skies were out of sight
As curtain mine to breeze it flight

So, beckoned I its passage to seal
Agog winds and rain that steals
Dwell in glance one who from storm flee
In doorway mine a cute reveals

In, his suit of rainy wet
Him, shirt mine felt must let
Stare his body that lure to pet
And soon my glance that gave he met

On, my feet to move it fret
While heart mine to rhythm its beat
Came and touch and cuddle he treat
While pulse to rise it set to heat

Now, in bed from sleep I wake
Sun' my dream of sweet it breaks
Out of gate his shadow opaque
Whom my gown of night stripped, take

Days and nights I be alas
Winds and rain, hope he pass
Linger for him be till last
Him that thief my heart I fast

Soon morning came he fades
Gone from view he ons' evades
But months that goes I faint, degrade
With tiredness and vomit that taint charade

Then my doc to whom I see
Who with sight my symptoms' foresee
Same news earlier test be real
Of fetus that grows within agree

I, my eyes to tears submit
Thought that murder cannot admit
Now, my burden alone to cross commits
As evoke of night bestows regret that hit

So' tummy of mine to swell expose
And birth of boy soon dispose
Then life mine to him bestows
Him that grow become man repose

Now a lie to him I gave
Which secret to you only save
When father' to me he crave
Say' raped by some unknown a rave

In eye his' see a lot
Error and fortune of error got
He my joy remain of blot
Star a night of might be clot
