The Wide Bowl

This bowl is no longer mine, was never so, Let it go. well worn before the oath, A gift that despised the guardian, Presented freely without a dowry in May. tainted, and abandoned. used, and widened by many. too wide to keep a home. This bowl is no longer mine, Let it go, insatiable, licentious and libidinous. The bowl was scorned by many. ere i fell a wandering, incorrigible, rebellious, untutored. a bait on my way, the sorrow on my path. This bowl is no longer mine, Let it go, Like many seeking for prey, and so was i for a time. intent concealed,, desperate for the gift of the semen. as adulterer urged rebellion by ignorance. the rage, the rave of ego and bestiality. deceived the Law for mere gain. This bowl is no longer mine, Let it go, It is broken cannot be fixed by logic. this bowl is old, alluring by mascara. This bowl was used, i take exception on your list, This bowl is free available to all. the next victim can explore. the bowl is cheap, forced a dowry to conceal the shame. This bowl is no longer mine, Let it go, T'was sold for free at Ikoyi with ego, Who is next? A thousand many had the bowl, I played along for a time, ere this voyage of deceit, I took a flight from restrain , hoping to make a jewel from the Flesh. This bowl is no longer mine, Let it go, This bowl is addicted to the red zones, Incurable addiction i recalled, The friends, The internet, The phone, The TV, The cinema, And tattling, The routines of unending dark flights Incorrigible, Venomous. You may have the bowl if you would. think no shame on me, I lusted. This bowl is No longer mine. Let it go Once a street bowl, and always so. Find the bowl in your homes, Let's hope the bowl recovers. but a broken bowl is irreparable by man
