LOVE

If not for love, 

then for pain and suffering, 

lies and betrayal, 

deceives even the kindest of souls.

The world does not hurt,

but,

the people within. 

And if love is not in the souls of all, 

the light is gone and darkness, 

Consumes.

Everyone has to love to keep alive the light
of life. Your poetry has an essence of simplicity. Keep writing.

I agree.
"And if love is not in the souls of all,
the light is gone and darkness,
Consumes. "
Love can make us dream and can make us die. Thank you Amy for sharing the excellent poetry.
