Facets of Love

Facets Of Love. . Love has many facets and guises And many varied shades It has the power for your heart To feel the ravages of winter Ot your heart to sing on summer days . It can hold you both slave and prisoner Or set the caged dove free Lead you to the gutter Or empower you to be . It inspired many a song And words of thoughtful poetry Love has caused many a war Ending in both in defeat and victory . Caused many a soul to die And many souls to survive But one can only truly love When one is alive . Selfless love to others While putting they're own life’s at risk It can override free will Thirsty for another’s kiss . It can give you tomorrow Or leave you yesterday It’s shown by affection actions And in the acts and words you say . Love brings offspring made out of love It drives many to faith and devotion To another power up above . The love of a mother Maybe the greatest love of all But you have to love yourself first Before love comes around to call . Love can open up your eyes Or make you blind True love is forgiving giving and kind It can melt the coldest heart And heal a damaged soul True love is forever young And never grows old . It may not matter If you are a pauper or a king For true love has no boundaries No matter what others believe and say Love is a gift from God For the pure of heart To spread love to others every day Even if they ate strangers You meet upon your way . For I believe despite our differences We are all brothers and sisters Under the same moon stars and sun And no heart is ever won with hatred and a gun . Love of God has promised us A new earthly paradise Open your eyes look around At the world in chaos It’s the only hope we have got. . Peter Dome©2021.
