And Divinity Wept Love (A poem written by VABEC)

Image
 I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave.

DIVINE LOVE (A poem by AyeyemiTaofeek K.)

Like a poisonous arrow that pierces the heart, Or a pool of honey that houses one's heart; Like a chief wretched bathed in sea of wealth, Or the cancerous escaping the trap of death; Divine love can't be explained but can be felt. Divine love makes lovers feel that all is set. Deafening the lovers' ears from envious rants, And to all her faults he becomes ignorant. She displayed her teeth and lightening flashed, She enclosed the same and the moon smiles. It's easy to talk endlessly about divine Love, Only those who are ravaged by Love know Love. For love is dangerous offering no consolation. To those bathed with love I offer salutations. No illness is as rich as the ache of the heart, When one's lover is gone and makes us depart. A lover's lament surpasses other cries of pain, But divine love when alive surpasses all gain. AyeyemiTaofeek K. Aswagaawy [07035513533] #Soulerhymezpoetrycompetit
