Loves Battle

Bathed in the bounties of a blue moons breath

Saved from the savageness of Satan’s set

 

Trundling temptation from the tallest tower

Preventing the painful plight of distorted power

 

Freed from the frigidness of a frozen fate

Only in love can we defeat the hate

To me it looks like being saved from the cruelty and unfeeling ways of hatred; The freeing oneself from the temptations of power and its hold on a soul in its coldness, and healing the self of these things in the light of moon and touch of wind...like a cleaning out after having pulled them from the tower...not letting those things settle in and replacing with love instead. Geez, all that in those few lines I see! Ha ha! Goodness...well, my interpretation! Be well!

Cool!! I Believe that Love conquers all evil in the end, and you took my beliefs right off of my heart!!
i love this poem!! absolutely!
the rhymes in the couplets are nice, and the subtle imagery is anything but ordinary.
Virtuous Love rules, and you are the master of such theme in poetry.
I'm glad you shared this to me :)

Maybe it could have been longer, BUT, I think it's perfect the way it is. Sometimes saying less is really saying more. "Only in love can we deafeat the hate" How very true that is. This is a really good write as well as a good read. Very meaningful. You make very valid points here. Great job my Dear Mr. L. ;)

I find this poem fascinating because you are able to speak of love even by using words that are the opposite of love. Words such as savageness, temptation, Satan, painful, distorted, etc.

This poem clearly shows that you have seen the other side of love or else you would have never been able to put this into words.

I don't think this poem need be any longer, short and conscise - defining the perils of love. Good job!

I think the first stanza is the best. The poem is very constructive, but at the same time - so simple and even a bit average. It's beautiful! I think the real talent reveals in skill to create such aphoristic poems! ;)

Outstanding ML! :)

I actually think this is one of those shorties
that needs to remain as such. It packs more
punch! If you lengthen it, it may lose some
of its power...

As always... excellent work!!

OH MY GOD! I LOVED THE ENDING LINE!!

"Only in love can we defeat the hate"

That was amazing. The poem its self was so wonderful but that just put the cherry ontop.
