A poetic exploration of love by Adenugba Temitope Theresa

Ins’t it a magic

Ins’t it so fantastic

Through the channels of the unseen, communication takes place.

Ins’t it so painful

Ins’t it so dreadful

That joined hearts now diverged?

Some love to gain

Some love in vain

Some love because it is love

Others love as a command from above

Some say love is crazy

As this eats the heart with no amount of water to kill the heat

And others say its a poison

Once the heart is betrayed, the soul dies with it.

Ins’t it so flexible

Ins’t it so beautiful

To love and not to lust

To hug and not to stab

To kiss and not to kill?
