Love And Regret Poem by Dr Anthony Onoja

So bright were the stings of time
the sparrow the drew on her melted heart
So love came so late like the winter's berries
they ripe so late into summer bloom
She is a princess that never got her crown
neither rescued as told in fairy tales of old
How comes her heart beat so fast?
like the drumbeats of Malendi in sunrise of Kenya

Hallow above the columns of regrets
truce for the days of reckoning
sometimes fate lies
Habite in her little wonderland
she felt so special, treated like a golden ring
He barley know her
yet he queenly treats her like lady Panka
Time they said is twin sister of fate and lust
Is there an escape route from these voids?
Even when all the pleasures are long gone?

The land of the hearts are barren of love
full of thorns from the Brussels of deception
Time she arose and fall in the streets of Nairobi,
days of youth, dawn of errs
Time when she was a gazelle,
Wild in the clubs of High-point
swirls in dirge of fantasy
Wrapped up in the blanket of lust

Then the devil came
So angelic to a default
Darken the purity of her soul
leaving behind the ashes of love and pain
Why do I have to carry this little errs of yours?
Why must the scarlet be so red on me?

The days are evil
demons now walk the streets of Nairobi
They live by deception
brighten in the nightfall of Mombasa
The journey to the home of lust
the beginning of her union with the Arabic Oprah
Time they say are hard
The malo boy now own her pot
imprinted the Koranic relics in the gateways of her freewill
