love is not so easy to kill

Anger seeps            
into the crevices of our lives           
displacing the space            
our hearts called home        
            
Cruelly            
is a cancer growing           
a burning ember that ignites           
a forest fire of destruction            
leaving in the aftermath            
a numb placidity,            
darkness            
and  unending sadness        
            
Avoiding each other's eyes            
ashamed of words meant to hurt           
praying all could be unsaid            
and then you touch my hand            
offering a new beginning            
a blessing            
turning pain            
into summer rains        
            
Watching as flowers unfold            
seeing the world grow            
Together            
we walk within the storm            
washing souls clean            
leaving spirits            
whole        
            
Holding hands            
we look in each others eyes        
finding a miracle
deep inside        
              
love is not so easy to kill
