*Love and Hate

the shine in eyes that love
uninhibited and truth that shows
each blink a message of desire
each smile a need for kisses
love the touch of fingers' caress

thus the beginning is full of hearts
full of words so soulful
full of loving and giving
tangled limbs start and end unknown

until the fire singes the spirit
deeper need want complete subjugation
no breath to breathe no secrets unknown
settled dusts of trusts stir

green eyes wake to distrust
when inched away the body
that echo the cymbals
of alarm...leaving now?

distrust followed by suspicion
dislike to hate
the acid in the vinegar
feel free the spirit roams
love shackles break

hate is now a bed
to sleep on just so
not to feel again
the prison of love...
hate is the key
out.
