amor

love and hate

How is love 

so simple

 yet it becomes hate

if all is fair in war

 a heart torn

can never  be mend

if eye to eye 

we see

brought in love 

to believe

we must resolve 

what makes us one

 otherwise 

we're alone

in the end

In some great book written. It said. "The gods always win. We will be alone and we will die alone."
"we must resolve
what makes us one
otherwise
we're alone
in the end"
The above lines solid and true Mauricio. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

thanks love can be tough but its how we end it, also in thought my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome my friend.

To me, your poem harkens to the reality that we can't engage in war-like behavior with loved ones & then turn right around & expect that person to act like everything is lovey-dovey fine. People always remember how you make them feel, as Maya Angelou wisely counseled (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

Poignant poetry here. Thoughts that most people will identify with - I certainly do. Also reminds me of the Ballad of Reading Gaol "each man kills the thing he loves, the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword" (I may have slightly misquoted, but the gist is there).

I think the resolve needed to see "what makes us one" is the resolve to have compassion for each other and to know that each arrow fired in the war comes from a place of woundedness in the other. There can only be a war if I think you are my enemy, not if I see your act of aggression as the act of a hurt child (and vice versa!).

[Mauricio Montoya]

[light and ashes]

No, I meant to correct your spelling...
It's we're not were..
Not a big deal, though..
I make those kind of mistakes often.

[Mauricio Montoya]

[light and ashes]

No problem :)

In short, love overcomes all obstacles if it is allowed to. But I like the way you put it better Mauricio.

[Mauricio Montoya]

well buddy, what can we say in the end, it is what it is.lol.

The message is loud and clear. Love can heal and unite. Hate can sicken and destroy. We have diplomacy and solving our issues before others. Put our house in order before we reach our to others. Simple poem but excellent.

if only love could be so simple, Thank you for the input

if more people would work at resolving problems in their relationships...more of them would last.
a couple won't always see eye to eye on certain things, but if they see eye to eye
to working on resolving, then they have something.
nice write.

yes there are some who do see eye to eye but only a few
