Love & Hate

Love rested with me in my home.
He enjoyed our home.
I met him a long time ago;
He was looking for a willing heart.
Love can never be consumed,
nor does he consume,
but he dwells with me.
No virtue could measure up to him.
One day,
hatred was seen hanging out with the people next door,
It frighten love.
Love hid in the bushes,
and it concealed itself.
After waiting for an hour,
I wondered if love was suffering,
But Love revealed that he didn't like the presence of hatred.
That week hatred continued to run around.
He broke up many homes, families, and friends.
This saddened Love.
Love wanted to fight,
but he knew that fighting would hurt him.
So I decided to face hate.
And ask him to leave.
As I walked down the block I noticed the sad faces,
all confessed to be victims of hate.
I heard an odd noise
and there he stood.
Tall and mean.
I wanted to love him,
But I knew he couldn't receive it.
and Love could not change him.
He tried to take me hostage.
But I resisted.
He had consumed to many already,
and I loved Love way too much.
I guess we were destined to fight.
I took my stand,
but my resisting only made him more angry.
I saw him raise his hand to strike me.
And I ducked to soften the blow,
suddenly I felt a strong wind surround me.
It was Love
he was protecting me.
willing and ready to block the blow.
I was glad.
Love couldn't fight but he sure was able to protect me.
Hatred realized that I was shielded
and walked away.
Love and I hugged.
He told me he saw me resist,
and he was destined to rescue me.
Together we begin our journey home.
Now, I knew the secret Hatred
can be over come by love;
but we have to put up the fight.
