Regret

She stood before distorted mirror of her past

Munching and mincing in  stream of regret 

As the Adam evaporated after the fallen apple

A pariah she became in the market-square of womanhood 

Having lost her virginity on altar of love 

Tonight tears tear her apart as the haunting ghost

Of happy ignorance nailed her in the coffin of grief



                                                                                         
              awoh kingsley awoh
