A tale of two words
The noble truths that lift man’s heart eternal,
The vivid blaze that thaws the bitter night,
The tears that flow freely in joyous rapture,
Swathed in crimson blood never broken,
The invisible word they named you love.
Entwined in battle for eternity,
In darkened shadows your attachment lies,
An abhorrent force of the darkest day,
Foundations buried in scriptures of ancestors,
In frequent disguises they called you hate,
The embrace akin since earths early dawn.
