Love is sometimes everything Shimmering inside your heart and soul

Let's be the good in every love story. Let's be the Love and Light. 1 of 2: Love is sometimes everything (Shimmering inside your heart and soul) By Michelle Morris 03/02/2024 Love is sometimes an illusion It's a mirage that comes and goes Beautiful and ephemeral Like the views across the coast One moment it is sunny The next it is overcast Shimmering beneath the waves Are those currents we shouldn't cross Love is sometimes a destroyer We bend ourselves inside out as it wills Seductive and exciting Like the allure of those little pills One moment you are lucid The next you're out of your mind Shimmering beneath your skin The bitterness with the sublime Love is sometimes a trickster We get confused by hormones and chance A situation that can spin out quickly Like a tornado sweeps across a farm One moment there is substance The next everything is destroyed Shimmering beyond Truth and Light The Fates have given their warnings Love is sometimes unforgettable We can't move on from the ties that bind No matter how badly they treat us We hang on to our Hope and Kindness One moment there is a connection The next we're ghosted for good Shimmering beneath our hearts Is the Darkness that begins to brood Love is sometimes transient It flows through us and those we meet We try to hold on to the feelings But are only met with Loss and Defeat One moment there is happiness The next we're out in the rain Shimmering inside each memory Is what's left of humanity's pain Love is sometimes unspeakable It's in the bruises and breaks that they give If you don't escape the battlefield You might not get to live One moment there is calm The next the rage is unleashed Shimmering inside their hearts Is the Darkness that they're feeding /2 © Michelle Morris, 2024
