Love Victorious Evil Conquered
Guarding my love for you
it’s as hard as heck, when
trying to safely hide my feelings
from hardened jeers.
Keeping my emotions bottled up.
Make’s me jittery, when
scorners insist on taunting me
about my lowly status.
This disappointing drama
is far too much to handle
left me gasping for breath
from the endless, stinging, outbursts.
The deriders’ sword of rejection
that my lover’s family aimed at me
touched my heart spewing blood
leaving me pessimistic.
Their numerous fiery words
like hot chowder thrown at my face
Caused my golden peace to dissipate, and
my sundry emotions to erupt.
Choosing to battle the iniquities, and
tread the waters of affliction
is like dancing on coals of fire
for the sake of our love.
Once love has dulled the senses
sex sends endorphins to the brain
removing pain of malicious memories
etched by lips of vulgar gossipers.
