Love and hate

Love and Hate: A Delicate Dance of the Heart

By Mike LundgreenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Love and hate, two sides of a coin,

An intricate dance that we all must join,

The heart's two extremes, the yin and yang,

That hold our souls in a delicate twang.

Love, the warmth that melts the ice,

The fire that ignites, a paradise,

A feeling that fills us with hope and joy,

A treasure that none can ever destroy.

Hate, the chill that freezes the heart,

The venom that poisons, a work of dark art,

A feeling that feeds on anger and pain,

A demon that none can ever restrain.

Yet love and hate, though opposite as they seem,

Are often closer than we might deem,

For love can turn to hate, and hate to love,

Like a twisted dance in a dream.

But if we embrace the love in our heart,

And strive to keep hate's poison apart,

We'll find that love's light will always prevail,

And hate will wither, like a dying gale.

So let us choose love, over hate,

And let our hearts determine our fate,

For in the end, it's love that will endure,

A flame that will forever burn pure.
