Love Poem: Intolerance

Intolerance

Where the seeds of love were scattered 
and I reaped a random harvest, 
I felt it never mattered 
how the scarecrow scared the crows; 
now the days limp torn and tattered 
by intolerance and heartache, 
and my love falls blue and battered, 
petals of a dying rose. 

How to make some comprehension 
from intolerance and blindness, 
a dilemma filled with tension 
choosing not to ever see 
that love holds no intention, 
arbitrary by it's nature, 
and will bow to no convention, 
and is everything to me.
