Challenge
Write about a love-hate relationship between two people.
ONE
Hate came storming in the door
squalling, yelling, howling
ready to drill into damaged heart.
Hate had watched Love through cracks
distorting exposed image in his mind,
contaminating her senses, stole her soul
squalling, yelling, howling
Foggy darkness of imperfect Hate
damned to Hell where lonely lies,
larger and larger, the cyclone grows,
dehydrated thoughts, waning passion
squalling, yelling, howling
Love is the conqueror and purifies pith
seizes Hate’s emotions whirling in space.
Love flows like lava into crevices of Hate,
warming the cold and sadness therein,
melts the ice from Hate’s furrowed brow
soothing, softening, calming
Meeting in middle, Love and Hate become
