The Lonely Man Poem by Vinaya Joseph

He was a fraud,
And I became
A victim of lust,
He made me an accomplice,
An indecent lover,
The caution in my mind,
I threw it to the wind,
Thinking that I am in love,
I became an easy prey,
For his deceit,
There is no hard & fast rule,
In Love,
That's why they call love blind,
He was a wolf,
I failed to see,
In the guise of a sheep!
The lonely man,
With malafide intentions,
I failed to see,
His clandestine motives,
I regret,
Wasted hours of my life,
That I spent with him over the phone,
I avoided his calls,
As I never wanted our friendship,
To blossom into an affair,
I regret,
That I could not foresee,
What was to come?
Stay Away…
