Working On The Sleeve Of Life Poem by LIGHTCHEERFUL BRIGGS

Nay! The gods are not to blame.
It is my destiny that the only girl I love, belong to another
Anna please keep my love for the rainy days
She was indeed my real affirmation of chance
Anna just as I reminded her only but true love counts
As it would happen another lured her with ‘HAKI' [money] from me
She was my lover; a true devoted lover transformed in a split second
I only woke up one day to find her another man's like a dream
Is it true; I asked myself counting on every passing click of the clock?
No more sleep nor rest only but a palpitating heart of failure and disappointment.
I continued to spend the night in such a painful and horrible state
Until mine became almost a psychiatric therapy.
I cried out Anna, Anna, Anna I called
Only but reply of the echo of my voice sounded everywhere
Anna was gone, gone and gone forever with a man who was never her choice?
Only but beguiled by the fake splurges of stake winner.
Consolation rings the bell of courage in my heart, for all is not lost.
Some times we loose to gain, other times we gain to loose;
Such was my saga with Anna; nothing ventures - nothing happens.
Ah! Like a mirage, today a better than Anna is my arms
While I live happily in total affluence
Anna ducks around me. No time no interest
Anna regrets eternally loosing me for a fake spinner
So it is with impatient; like a patient dog eat a fat bone.
So Anna lost with impatient
A double dealer is taken up his double standard
Anna, Anna remember my words, to keep the rainy days echoed in my heart
As she ebbed away with the tide.
