Love Bites Poem by Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha

Recurrently, to love stings
Painfully than scorpions’ stings
Such pain psycho-emotionally mediated
Makes one like in hot oil, saturated

Follow me down this pain lane
As you realize, love is insane

Euphoric atmosphere, the genesis

Sulphuric biosphere, the revelation

Should the unearthed separate us?
Or rather, to us a binding force?

Kisses replaced by spat spittle
Those hands of caress now do little

Palms slap, middle fingers shown
Showing a great thumb- down
And the relationship as a social frown.

Pains of love mysterifies earth
God’s love, Jesus’ sacrifice all in same path

To love is to die in compromise for another
This never paid-off, why go further rather than deter?

Because, you are no alien
You will not die not stung; unbitten

In life, love surely bites all.
