Love and Pain cost no Gain

           The day smelt roses; 
        A glimpse of the realms
    makes my blood still oozes. 
   It was our first, nevertheless 
           both of us were consent.

                  "Hi!" I said, 
And the next was to hold hands. 
          Lovebirds in the air
      streaming through the night,

   It was; but such a nightmare.
       The streets were quiet 
    and no one seemed to care.
     We chatted for like an hour; 
Staring and smiling at each other.

                    Behold! 
The cool breeze from the trees 
           made her felt cold. 
         She clung on to my arm 
         to keep herself calm. 
       In just a blink of a second, 
     she broke loose of my hand;

                          "Why?"
 She seemed to sense a snare of sin;

             As both were christians

          And pledged to be decent
                 I tried to explain
     But she dared not to listen

          "Please Forgive" I cried; 
  Yet she left without even a little turn
             In a world of guilt 
    I felt the devil's squints eyes;
         frosted "I" like an ice.
      How could I - interwove
       into a torn piece of a GTP;
      (A Golden Threaded Pearl)
            Ahwenepa Nkasa* 
                 Ɔbaa sima* 
         I have learnt a lesson; 
    Never to replay such action.

           I beg you pardon; 
   Love and Pain cost no Gain.
