APOLOGY POEM CHALLENGE
Brief:-
Challenge Accepted Joy.
I was tagged in this challenge by Joy Ebong who is a very creative poet and avid lover of poetry.
I dedicate this poem to her and other poetry lovers.
I also appreciate the concept behind the Apology Poem Challenge by CDTPPW and I hope this piece resonates with the idea behind the challenge.
CRUMBLE
A sigh from deep within his soul escaped.
"I am tired", he admitted softly as he walked
Away from the room where she lay
Under the duvet, the swell of her robust breast
Peeping from the covers of the duvet.
She wrapped herself in a wrapper,
Eagerly walking to meet his pace.
"For how long will you ignore me?"
She asked as her big brown eyes
Burned into the depth of his soul.
He held her hand, a weak comfort;
For all he felt was sadness and disgust
So he averted his eyes from her's
And looked at the colorful painting
Dangling on the wall beneath the breeze.
He could not bring his lips to kiss her
Because his mouth had been
On his boss's groin suckling away,
For wealth and promotion, he had
Given away his dignity and pride
As a man, as a provider; and sucked.
He stared deep into nothing
As he stroked her soft manicured fingers,
She was beautiful indeed
And deserved a much better man.
He had lied to himself, that he
Only did it to give her and the children
A good life and luxurious comfort
But as she stared into his eyes,
His soul crumbled and tears welled
Up in his eyes, he closed his eyes
And tears trickled down his face.
I wish to tag Ami Zhang whom I look forward to her creating a masterpiece in this challenge.
