Love restrained and enduring pain
through passion sustained engulfed in flames …
Picture this …
Love restrained
through metal bars
razor wire fences
perimeter cars …
Enduring pain
so many scars
maintaining the passion
surviving the wars.
Burning slowly
a torturous feeling
seeking a release
forever healing.
A soothing touch
a glimmer of hope
each day passing
struggling to cope.
Love is powerful
but life goes on
each day passing
still holding on.
Inside or Out
Life is Love
and those who have it
are blessed from above …
