Love, Hate and My Fate

In my quest of life sublime I face a mountain I must climb There dwells up inside of me A growing amount of hostility My anger is growing day by day Regardless of the prayers I pray Like two grinding tectonic plates One is love and the other is hate As the plates slowly grind away Price of hate my love must pay Like a beautiful exotic dance Hate is held in dark romance Like a lone mountain flower Love shall hold mystic power The two sides of a single face Only one can rule this place Off to hell fallen angels go Is this the fate of my soul? Is the meaning of this rhyme? Bound by the hands of time For all to hear and all to see Love and hate each dwell in me Love and hate each have their goal I wonder, which shall win my soul

This was a good read. No one is perfect and loving all the time. Each of us has felt hate but it's our reaction to it that's important. It's much easier to love that to expend so much energy on hate.

You've come too far to let hate win, Michael. My son fights a battle with alcohol and anger. He still doesn't realize what holding on to the hatred is doing. At times I see some improvement. I don't believe he realizes how proud I am of him, but I keep praying. Glad to see that lifetime membership. It means poetry soup is hanging onto one of its finest. God Bless. Vince

It is good to see you posting incredible poetry again, Michael, strong words indeed.....but love will always win a heart as big as your own....no question about that. Your soul is in God's hands....of that I am sure.
