Poem
I had gotten to that stage, Where true love was but a mirage. When one is hurt too many times By these daughters of Eve, The heart must surely cease to give Until such a time as right To smile again and see the light. Miranda, fairest of them all Adored our trips to the mall. I could tell from her charming eyes That her love would be my demise, So I fled with what coins I had left, For her love was akin to theft. That was when I met my Nora. By all that’s sweet, she had an aura! Pretty young thing, genteel with her voice, Of many boys she was the choice. Flawless, petite, her looks were fine. I swore by love to make her mine. Lovely were those nights we shared. But like I’m sure you must have heard, The flawless ones are just as marred within. She had a love affair with gin. Then came the age of Olivia, The sight of whom did make me shiver. Kind with words, light on her feet, The kind of girl you’d love to meet. Many were those that saw the sight Of our love, both day and night. Looks of envy, of jealousy I mistook them all to be, For they were looks of pity, As it turned out my Olivia Was liberal with her Banana. Pauline rescued me from distress, Mended me like a seamstress. I gave my heart, to her my all, I felt so bad she fled with Paul. Was at the base, looking up, When I saw a damsel stop. Lovely, round, Quinta was her name. Her looks were calm, her manners tame I really wished she’d stay the same, But to when she left, from when she came, Deception was her only game. My path to love had been so rough, So hard, rugged, it made me tough. It wasn’t long ‘fore I met Rose, Pretty, sweeter by the dose. To her I took an instant liking. But once we went bike riding, She met a long lost cousin, T’wards whom she showed uncanny liking. Well, that was fair, or so I thought, Till the day in bed, them both I caught. Like I said, I’d become tough And her little act was not enough To get this old stallion Weep from pain and feel alone. I marched right on. The wind brought in Sylvia, So pious, in love with prayer. Nearly was I fooled By her style, the way she schooled. Saintly demon she proved to be, Sworn to stay the same eternally. Thelma just didn’t get it right. She lit a quarrel, then a fight. Her seasoning too was prone to loiter. It’s thanks to her I’m free from goiter! Ursula, a foreign girl I met, Was close to base and thickly set. Many were the times her mind was set On losing all my savings in a bet. She saw no bars, She kept no laws. The time we shared was but a loss. Why all this fuss? Why all this pain? I held them all in such disdain, And swore by life I would detain My heart with bonds of chain Till came that time when girls be sane. At last it came, or so I thought, As Vanessa, misfortune brought. Her looks were fine, Her smile was nice, But all she knew to make was rice. Winifred too followed the cue, And like you know I wish I knew, She was a night rider, A hidden foe, a crouching tiger. Many were the nights My phone will ring, And I’d hear the same song sing: “Winnie got drunk and hit the gutter, By all that’s holy, please come get her.” Xena was one like none I’d met. She broke a lie without a sweat. I recall one time I heard Her on the phone, caught every word. “Who was that?” I had to ask. It proved to be no sweating task! “It was my dad”, I think she said, But she forgot her dad was dead! I had to go, I could not stand The way her stories sank in sand. Yvonne, this girl I met in school, Had eyes that made you drool. I did her bid, I played her fool, It’s sad to know I was her tool. Zenobia, legs that wouldn’t stop, Passed by and made my molars drop! Scantily clad, she caught my eye, That’s how it works, don’t ask me why! I loved her gold and blue hair dye. This was it, I’d found my love Sent to me from up above. But she was a business woman Out to sell to the richest man. “Does love exist?” I asked myself. I should just shove it on a shelf. Please don’t conclude, don’t get me wrong, I love the ladies, mind not my song. Just an art, nothing negative, So please let’s not get sensitive. This is fun, it’s all a joke. That was me just being a bloke!
