Love Poem: Trenches of Time

Trenches of Time

It's easier to hate than to love
love takes time to nurture
constant dialogue
from the trenches of time comes mutual respect.

Hate is a flash bomb
a nail to the face
a bloody lip
instant gratification
a raw stroke to the ego

With love, you must walk through brushfires
to get to the other side
but in the end
there is a
cleansing
by fire
and it's every little burn.
