I FOUND A LOVE by Yvy-apple Winter
I found a love that nullifies everything I believe as the way I should live
A love that amplifies nothing except this love I have found
I found a love untouched by man,
A love that built walls around our hearts, building a world where only he and I exist.
I found a love that I know I stand to lose but it is a love I stand to forget not,
A love that I would relive every day for the rest of my life,
A love that I would watch replayed despite knowing the end was told to be sad for the highs were higher than the final low.
I found a love I have named the greatest love of my life,
A love that makes me say, if I could, I would,
I would climb the seemingly infinite staircase to heaven-the adjustment bureau,
To ask the father to write me down in the book of love as the love of your life and you, as the love of mine,
I would be your souls mate not the accquaintant I will be,
I would ask the father of love to write us down in the book of the afterlife as soul mates,
But here on earth, he should allow me breathe my last in your arms while you in mine in a single moment for one more breath without you would be wasted.
You maybe Mr. Wrong but I love you in all the right ways, angels agree, they do!
I found a love that taught me the two sides of truth,
A side that tells it and a side that calls one to have the courage to face the hurt it may cause but through the hurt watch my love unperturbed,
A love that showed me love is love whether he is present or absent,
A love that taught me to overlook offences, to choose to forgive,
To learn to live with what I cannot forget and never breathe a word of it,
A love that taught me that sometimes the glue in love is more of what we do not say of the others’ flaws than what we do say,
A love that taught me the art of loving a man and he that of loving a woman,
To breathe free and to live Wild-untamed,
I saw Gods face,
It was a love I loved and when we parted,
It was a love that stayed and it will never leave for it is in me And of me…
FIRE AND ICE by Subila Esperanza Chilupula
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water; Elements of old
Gaea, Aeolus, Hephaestus, Poseidon; Rulers of the elements, mighty and bold
Lady Libra; Grace, poise and her set of scales
Her duty, to maintain the balance, of which she never fails
To every mortal an element and deity assigned
To which their capabilities are matched and designed
Just as it were Eve and not Steve for Adam as a mate
No mortals of the same element can correlate
I a daughter of Libra was named the ice queen for I was born of water
Heart so cruel and cold, ruthless, I never did falter
Lo and behold of love my stone heart did taste
And like a snowball in the morning sun, my heart did thaw in haste
For I met my mortal my match, gift from the gods divine
At the first touch, I knew he was mine
Ruled by the deity Hephaestus,
He was of fire, the fiercest element, its aid Aeolus
He too was ruthless
Always strived for the best, nothing less
To him, I was the best
For I challenged him unlike the rest
He consumed my cold heart ’til it melted
Filled me with such passion it left me demented
Like the yin and yang, so different yet so complete when joined in totality
We are of fire and ice; never meant to combine but together are of absolute quality
It’s the tango of a wild fire of the prairie
The salsa of a great oceanic tsunami
When angry, starved and overwhelmed with emotion
My lover seeks the cool solace of my arms and like the Atlantic Ocean
I wash over him cooling his anger, his hunger fed
And like a dormant volcano he lies besides me, quiet, waiting to be reawakened
When my ice cold waters of worry overflow and threaten to drown me
My cold heart aching, eyes covered in a fog of despair so thick I can no longer see
I seek the warmth of my lover’s embrace
Slowly he heats my icy sorrows with a soft but sure caress
’til my troubles begin to evaporate, sublime
With them I soar high up to the climax of mount Olympus lost in a different time
And slowly just as it began, I return to the here and now
Knowing that I will return to that utopia somehow
Fire and ice, neither to the other is kin
But when joined together seem to be of one skin
The phoenix, attribute of fire brings healing
The dragon, a distant relative uses breaths of fire for killing
Snow, frozen lakes, born of water, the penguin and polar bear’s lair
Ice-burgs, every pirate and sailor’s nightmare
Of dinosaurs we hath heard, beast so wild and savage
Alas Poseidon drove them to extinction at the dawn of the ice-age
The fire-age is yet to be for of hell and torment whether pagan or religious we all hath heard
And of its bottomless pits of eternal flames that sinners dread
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water; Elements of old
Gaea, Aeolus, Hephaestus, Poseidon; Rulers of the elements, mighty and bold
But fire and ice are the fiercest of the fold
VIOLETS IN RED by Mete Banda
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
But is that entirely true?
I know not of roses blue,
Or comely violets red,
But of the colors switched instead.
I’ve seen roses yellow,
And violets too,
What would those to my endeavor do?
Huumm, roses in blue,
would it mean?
A feat by nature yet to be seen.
Violets in red,
What joy would it bring,
Would it at least her stern heart sting?
