Chrisdad Kojo Arthur Poet Narrative

Missed Her Period

MISSED HER PERIOD

SO she called at dawn
By then I was around cloud nine in a certain lovely lawn
Her groans and tears were so loud to make me vacate sleep
When my eyes opened, From arm's length her emotions were so deep

So I asked, 'what are you doing here? It's late'
'I missed my period' she categorically did state
What? I fearfully asked
She said ' I couldn't menstruate

''I used to flow at least every day
But it's been week since my ink felt paper''

My eyes became flooded
Her emotions got her impregnated

I starved her of my contraceptive hands
Whiles I watched her in her idle state with my naked eyes
Now, She's missed her period.

She wanted to abort
But  I said no to that future effort
So she was delivered of  that beautiful baby
Invested me with an additional responsibility 

My lexicon I ought to increase
For my words ought to be enough,
To satisfy both her and her baby.
