Faultless Love

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Might it be that honest love is often thwarted by delusional acceptance, an experience more often than not without satisfactory explanation?

Faultless Love

 

Such an emotional warrior

This crusader called love

 

It knows not boundaries

Its territorial focus thrives on chance

It seeks not a battleground

But a means of expression void of aggressive impropriety

 

Yet…

 

Try as it may

Forces appear from nowhere

Challenging with armor often unknown to Love

 

Bravery marks this instinctual energy of need

Knowing not what tomorrow will bring

Dauntless in its resilience

Trying to avoid being blinded by Lust’s radiation.

Love your opening two lines with love as an emotional warrior. So true, especially in this day and age. Love can no longer be just a mellow sweetness. It needs to be brave and bold, or as you wrote "dauntless in its resilience.
