Haiku Defence - Js
Will you flay me alive
To hold conventions that strangle belief?
Shall credibility dive
For cutting love free from chains of grief?
In your form I search for me
Not the hackneyed desolate rules that steer
Cowards to shores of misery
I hold my love and my heart must ever cheer
You are sick, but will not die
The faith of flesh is tougher than the raw bite
Of death, I will not say goodbye
Nor surrender hope like lightning in the night
So let us talk love still
Let us make our world without old memories
Sweeter words can yet spill
Broader boundaries for better histories
