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
