Blood of Love

Like a swallow under the weight of a scorching sun
searching another land where we can stroll
under the shade of the walls of an ancient city
unincumbured by the threats of our own demons;
alas, all is in vain
these cities exist solely in an exhausted mind:
the blood of love is nothing but a fiction.
Maybe one day honey will drip without leaving any stians

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
