Choice Of Choice! Poem by Ayokunle Adeleye

How can one be in love with two?
I do not know, do you?
When neither feeling one can lose
And therefore has to choose!

For one is meant to have several friends
To all of whom one tends
Yet every now and then
One takes a stroll into love's den

And once in a long while
They are more than one
With whom one navigates this Nile;
For whom one's heart is won

Is it because they're both good
That they're both wooed?
Or, because they're both bad
That they're both had?

For ultimately, a choice, one confronts
One, or the other, to affront
Yet it is both sides of the coin
That awakens one's loin

So that it finds its voice—
That choice of choice—
For since both cannot be had
One often alternates which, for now, is bad!
