The Adage I Forgot Poem by Kimani wa Mumbi

Mary

In you I put all my trust,
And by so I forgot
The adage about
The eggs and the basket.
I loved no one else
But you've left me a mess
Into your heart I have no more access.
I wrote love poems
Just for you
and I.
But I forgot the adage -
the old adage.
Thought till old age
I'd have you to hold,
to touch,
To love,
To care for.
But I was wrong -
dead wrong.
But you've taught me
A lesson I won't forget.
And for that I
Have you to thank.
Yes, for that
You deserve credit.
