Shields and Yields of Love

Fields, shields and yields of love heal
Upheavals hearts harassed and heckled in circumstances
Maintained, retained and sustained on a hill
Disown and drown doubts in cocoons that ingratiate impertinence instances.

Fields, shields and yields of love lubricate
Gears and gaskets gleaned from garages of gregariousness
Feted and elevated to sainthood to subjugate
Spirits and writs to wean wads of wickedness.

Fields, shields and yields of love amplify
Overt and covert conduits carried over
From ashes and slashes of creativity to mollify
Hearts that vowed never again to dignify a patriarchal palaver.
 
Fields, shields and yields of love cure
Hearts on fire with ire to hire an empire
Driven and given to glorifying the lure
They claim names romance recidivists to fire, retire or inspire.

I feel the same way you do about this; I think bombs are abominable.

Strive for my unknown dream, and coming back to nowhere resonated with me instantly. A great feeling poem!

I must choose wisely. Sage. Be bold, be brazen. Love your choices!

Don't sell yourself short; you also see the world the same as others. Nice read.
