Inner pains Pains of love have eaten me to the marrow; Chewing my radiant mood against my wish, As all hopes of love fail like men's promise, There I warmly dream of oaring new world.   Love is as beautiful as dahila flower, Fruitful in its fertile world of bouquet, But why pains engulf its heart's trunk? Oh! Fore'er I live to love no more. What have I stolen from the gods of desire? Pains of love, smell of reeks, Where is thy saviour of pangs? Fore'er I live richly for having a heart desire. I have profusely sweat in the winter, Swinging around with rader of love, For I have found the dope of heart; The painful echo would have been buried. Where is the very love in this fake world! As every smile wears the garment of lust, Fore'er I live in the old memories, For only a grey to have purified my agonies. Copyright Asiwaju Abiodun Abdul'azeez
