Loves Dividing Wall

(Currently, I'm sharing a few of my "older rhyming" Pieces. Many suffer wars division).

In your arms I imagine

No divide of region

In your eyes I dream

No country supreme

Separated by oceans

Alas, neighbours we join

Cut off by guns divide

No touching, love denied

The air we breathe…equal

The skies we see…identical

Tears we cry shape our pain

Apart by borders…detained

My heart rejects defeat

My mind wrestles deplete

Barriers cannot seize my desire

Barricades silence the town crier

Aspirational possibilities shan’t die

Anticipation of intimacy, my cry

Expectations I shall not forsake

Faith in the odds my partake

Throw me ball-like to the other side

Catch me free, lest free will collide

Hold peace in wars harrowing toll

Embrace hope, appeals my soul

My heart echoes through these barriers

Tracing your heart, unites warriors

Tones of silent sound…loudly spoken

Written on echoes waves, unbroken

Connected are we in love's calm

Stillness in chaos, confident in alarm

No walls, no heights, no depth, no width

Shall separate love, from hence we conquereth

Write on the walls of divide

Write our pledge to unite

Write freedom, for lasting peace

Write truth, write to decree

Inscribe for the generations

Engrave our hope’s celebration

Love’s strength, stronger than war

Master hate for love, blood abhor

This wall, this love, this hopeful passion

Recite my heart, carve my vision
