The Union of Souls

Love—the platform of all existence.

One moment in time where motion ceases.

An instant where judgment is replaced,

By absolute adoration of being.

A unity of souls,

Bound by the passions of the committed.

Together, their devotion impenetrable.

Separate, their compassion still undying.

Yet, love takes hostage the heart,

And can destroy it

With the assassination of feelings,

Accomplished by those thought to be sincere.

The heart, bound in the catacombs of its aggressor,

Struggles to break free and fuse to that which warms it.

Hope—given by a shield to man’s existence,

Through Rays of brilliance, which blind love’s assassin.

A new life, a new start, a new beginning.

Faith was lost for ages until,

Love—triumphant again.

--Wes Kipler
