` He Did Not Want His Daughter To Dance With Me Poem by Efe Benjamin

Love is but a shadow
The shades in Hades
Seeks to be redeemed
But the ever watchful
Eyes of Cerberus is ever ready
Who could escape his ferocity?
I had never asked to be in love
Or in turn be loved by this
girl I saw,
But Eros had struck me a arrow,
I could feel its sting deep down
my marrow,
And my love had turned into
something more of a sorrow.
Love should be reciprocal
No one should break a heart,
In love with me your daughter
had been,
If you really love her, you should
let her be.
