The power of love

Lost is the hope
Gone is the love
Care not whispered
Bereft of concern


Caught in a breeze
A soul released
A dog unchained
By a world of pain


He feels no longer
Pain does not ponder
Heartless, unfeeling
Detached, emotions of spring


A raven in flight over a field of corpses
Saved from the claws of love's devices
Hatred his boon, anger brings glee
Sadistic madness, a bitter shade of green


His heart empty, a dark shade of blue
His mind twisted by a devil's tool
Gone is the man so young and free
His soul now blackened by the devil's plea


Look upon now what the world has wrought
Born once an infant, now a shroud
Look and see the power of love
And know that it's changed the man above


It showed to him, what others failed to see
Lessons unlearnt by you and me
For in this world of many desires
The desire for love remains the strongest


With each day that love does leave us
It brings with it a piece of our hearts
Piece by piece, day by day
The thoughts of the sane shall slip away


Mourn now oh creature of earth
Yearn for love from the one above
Seek protection from the ties of man
Or lose your soul within this land
