STOLEN by Adebanji Koiki

You confirmed the existence of God when you met him
He was sugar in its entirety
And you tried to savor the taste
He was perfect and you knew it

Then that moment in June
After you made the maths
Late hours at work multiplied by a female secretary
You concluded, adultery

Nagging took the fore
Sugar not so sugar anymore
The fear of wife took comfort of home
Where he went wrong he couldn't decipher

In the hands of beer find him succor
Another woman just found sugar
She nurtures him and prays to stay
Maybe so, as he finds comfort

Then you wail,
‘They have stolen from me!’
Possession just passed but do not say, Stolen.
