'AMAKA DISAPPOINT ME'(JEREMIAD ON ROMANTICISM)

She has made the words
of love sour for me to
speak again.

It is as if a hating breeze
is blowing upon me,
I just wanted to
cover you with Love's blanket.

Now that your silence is loud,
my feet is listening too,
I really hate to watch our
hearts walk separately on the
street's cranium.

Why do you think I frown,
at all cervix smiles now?
A painful razored pleasure
has cut me deep like a tribal knife, 
Amaka disappoint me...

ABIOLA AKINTUNDE
(THE EVELZ STORY).

The poet personae uses lots of synaesthesia(unconnected senses) to lament how the woman he loves strikes his emotions.
