Mabeline's Poetry Corner: GROW LOVE

by Mabel Howard, Mabeline "The Artist"
View ProfileRSS Feed
4 hours ago

Love conquers

Love heals

Heals the heart

Heals the soul

Soul of him

Soul of all her

Her secret hurts

Her secret pain

Pain of living

Pain of shame

Shame of addiction

Shame of eviction

Eviction from home

Eviction from the throne

Throne of the King

Throne of the Queen

Queen of the Throne

Queen of the King

King of the gates

King of the Scene

Scene so beautiful

Scene regulated

Regulated in armor

Regulated by knights

Knights with shields

Knights ready to fight

Fight off the enemy

Fight off the soldiers

Soldiers of a kingdom

Soldiers of the enemy

Enemy of power

Enemy who gains

Gains the trust

Gains a larger range

Range in territory

Range in fame

Fame bringing joy

Fame bringing fear

Fear brings power

Fear ignites change

Change of the heart

Change of the view

View of the world

View what you choose

Choose to love

Choose to grow

Grow

Love

Mabeline hosts and promotes a variety of community building programs that focus on the Art of Healing through poetry and writing, including Live Poetry at Cafe 7-10 and The Poetry X-Change at Werner Books and Coffee. She can be reached at gamewithmabel@gmail.com
