Olusegun Arowolo Poet Sonnet

Playing With Fire

"O` God"!,I don`t know how it begins or starts
I just got drawn into it without thinking,
It was sweet at first but kept me sinking,
This fire in the past had destroyed many hearts.

I tried to refrain but this love is so deep,
It is not right but what we share is so strong,
If exposed,our love becomes morally wrong,
which can make the real partner to end my sleep.

Lost in passion for it`s tough to end this dream,
but toiling with furnace fire isn`t child`s play,
We must restrain ourselves without delay,
though our love and passion make us a great team.

But I don`t want to toil with my life again,
This lust must end so that I won`t go insane.
