Power To Love

love has the power
born emotion
hailing from 
the mountains
in roaring thundering
waterfalls splash
through rocks
soft feelings

opening in
the book 
hand upon 
the chapters
falling open
a page

in a guiding path
sweet chariots
of fire
why hurt someone
disaster struck
slipping through
a porthole
in time

no truer words
have ever been written
thrown into 
the arena
this is not love
i applaud you
sacrificed 
for one's 
sick amusement

kneeling i await
my fate
turning 
the other cheek
you devoured
in the deep

never uttering 
a word 
until now
an ogre 
from hell
spawned 
in the dark deed
turning black
one thing
which lives
in us all

a light shines
in the light
of baptism 
of one's soul
this heart
will love forever
in one spirit
i speak
the truth

it answers
all prayers
we truly live
to love
