Love Beyond Earth

Can you believe I seen love at the corner, trembling cold, naked. Begging the people for quilt. For warmth . Kneeling beneath the star lite sky ,eating it self. With no other food to be eaten. Its feet tar black, it seemed to have walked a far distance, but still walking towards people begging with persistence. Its left arm amputated, but still gives a lady a warm embrace, in return for a measly coin.Its eyes held the innocence of a baby. Its face bloody, with scares of a trojan warrior. Its heart peaking out of its chess, blown by winds of foul hatred , but still enveloped with shards of loving light. I first helped him tuck his heart in. Then I asked how do you survive in this world of hatred and deadly flying arrows? love replied:i survive on shreds of love , for I have endured generations of wholesome hatred . A day turned in to weeks,weeks to months. Times of the hour glass had past and this love in flesh i never seen again. Until I had a dream I was on a corner,reading a tombstone. Etched on it was, the hours of love has past, now in the earth he lays, r.i.p love. Love has ascended beyond( earth & hour),to dwell in eternity.
