Love Not Hate

a war of words dripping, bloodied emotions of elixir drunken and fallen off of each page love or hate we are all in our own personal battle marching against time .... are we not going to soak in today blinded by looking only out for tomorrow bluebird dawns the view listen to her playful song sunlight paints her beak the now undressing the dew as the meadow flower bloom I see no hate in all this beauty love must be alive

Love is where you find it.

Precisely. "LOVE" is ALL that matters. Even in the comments of love expressed in these pages, by the likes of those who espouse it over hate, hate is still seen. But this, this is beautiful poetry. "She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies …One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent! "

Where must you lie my wind, my mover of grace, of leaf, of will. Come bring your elegance to light, reveal such pure beauty bestowed upon very cheek, the one lips burn to meet, to brush against, in rose like hue illuminate and in wait

...and "all" that's best of "dark and bright". :)

Great message Tim, one will note the profile of a narcissist and bully is this, play the victim, blame the real victim and never take responsibility for ones actions. Another point is they never change their ways.

and some are paranoid, or haughty to think people write about them. You know the type, TS. I'm sure Art can fill you in, or email me if you've forgotten.

Hi TS. I was recently accused of writing ‘hate poetry.’ Not hating anyone, I admire the message in your lines. Seeing you posting again is a reason to smile. Hugs!

What's also sad is that he accused me of writing hate poetry, and I certainly did not, so he's the one who's passing judgement.

Isn’t it funny that the same individual that accused you of that hated his own boys so much that he abandoned them. So sad…..
