Agony of love and hatred

By Atok Dan Baguoot

In loneliness, you seek love

For it perfectly mends broken arteries in the heart

For it lessens pressured veins in the heart

For love is an unseen jeweler of a loving eye

It is the ornament beauty

It is a dissuading mediator in hatred

Love and hatred all dwell in the agonies of despair

Love mends, hatred tears it down

Love stitches in disheartened mood

Love is an orator that leaves its audiences in stitches

Love cajoles parallel parties to compromise indifference

In the agony of love is in the broken love

In an agony of love and hatred, a fierce and pair hearted

Duo need no cagey, for it slays love

For love flairs and germinates even on rocky heart

Love is tenet, likewise hatred titters it

In dale, love still towers, whereas hatred withers

Even in discourse of hate, the grimy face of anger

Love still glitters with flourishing blossoms

We love and hate and still sail without compass but never get lost

Love stirs greasy wheels
