John Chizoba Vincent Poet Blank verse

Stronger Than Pain

Feel the agonies of  hurt feelings
As they burn the heart like a wild fire,
The sorrow of divorce penerate much
More than a viper's poisonous venom,
The feelings of loneliness hurt stronger than pain.

The tears of abandoned wife is hard to bear,
Like the lily pride taken into exile;
Like the lost of a husband and only son,
Like the wish of a widow; like a new groom
Who is denied of intimacy in the first night of wedlock.
Like the thought of a college kid; like the colour of hatred, like the bottom of a burnt pot, the pains of labour.
The misery of lost of an only palm fruit in the fire,
The cry of a funeral ram in the village square,
The weeping of a tattered child in a ditch of violation.

Loneliness is stronger than pain,
Lost of a loved one is stronger than pains,
Nothing is fixed on the mind when the mind has 
Itself to conquer.
Trouble elude the heart when it assumes better
Things rather than the mislead of its body in the ocean.  
tears and hatred are stronger than pains.
