Poem: The War in Love

To continue of the #16day theme of activism for women who have experienced domestic violence which finishes on 10th Dec, here is another poem I have written...

Love is captivating

A grandeur of irresistible strength

Bars of your bent arms 

Around my glass stomach

Squeezing 

Until each bit of sharpness

Becomes it's own in a rainbow

I'm yours 

Forever

Reflect me

To know love you must know war

Breaking down walls to conquer dreams

In the forgetfulness of sleep

Charge with a battering ram

Into my constructed soft meat

Until there is nothing left but

Surrender

I'm yours 

As I lay helplessly 

On your floor 

Love takes prisoners

Surrounded by muscular men with scars

Who choose their own prisons

And your company

Time has no nights

Torture is optional

So, you choose to scream

I'm yours

Until you die

In his hands

Love is not love without war

Nature's Forgiveness

Here is a poem about the suffering nature has to do and the growth it can go through regardless. Imagine a flower growing from a crack of light in a wall. We have to remember nature can be a killer too, yet nature forgives the predators of the world as their bodies give life to the soil. How much we can learn from nature's profound lessons. 

I will disappear 

and appear 

as a star

I am trodden upon

blood coated blades

Still, I grow

I am despised 

within, metal cold

Still, I snow

I will be 

crawling on my belly

in order to fly

I am suffocating

by thrashing life

Still, I flow

I am moonlight 

drawn to darkness

Still, I glow

I am the end

darkness

the beginning

of death

I kill in order 

to live

I will forgive

the rest
