Needless in the Wake of Love
Needless conflict in love…
Each nuance tolls like a temple bell,
each sensation like a swan skating on a mirrored sky,
and every sense in crescendo vies
for a clean and vibrant attesting,
a heart-felt arresting to comply.
Each breath like a cooling, salty sea breeze,
tempering a fading day’s swelter,
each thought like a bird released,
soaring into the endless blue,
a caged heart set free.
Each gaze filled with assurance,
eyes sated with life’s profusion and blessing,
in colours so profoundly beautiful,
no darkness could ever dispel this investing,
for beauty lives within a heart.
Each heartbeat the passion of time unrelenting,
each surge of blood a tempest of will,
as life thrives in mind and soul,
and body serves its whims and still,
it forever seeks out love.
Each moment I am thankful,
every blow a lesson learned,
each hurt my heart does break a little,
but the sadness of conflict always stirs me most,
for it is needless in the wake of love.

Who can be immune to the many joys and pains of love..though no pain can sting worser than that of love’s, we still seek it for all the fulfillment and beauty it gives..lucky are the ones who can experience a love devoid of heart wrenching conflicts..thank you so much for sharing this very emotive write dear Tony..wish you a lovely day!
Tony, you sure know how to define love beautifully, it rests so tender in the heart. You are so right: conflict is “so needless in the wake of love”. It is sad when a love ends, yet it would be so healing if there were no conflicts. I guess having no conflicts is unavoidable. Beautiful work.
Thanks Phyllis, yes, wouldn’t the world be different without conflict. So pleased you enjoyed my words. Take care and have a great day!
Much appreciated Anjana, and I am thankful for your kind words and support. Enjoy your day and take care my friend.
