Needless in the Wake of Love

Needless in the Wake of Love
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.

    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.
