When Love Met Hate

It was dark outside that day,

Yet a warm, soothing breeze blew,

Every so often,

That was the day...

The day that Love met Hate.

An unusual meeting--to say the least,

Neither knew the other's identity,

Nor did it seem to matter...

For the original bickering ceased

The moment that their eyes...

Truly met for the first time.

His--crimson red circles with black-hole centers...

Almost like droplets of blood.

Hers--a crystalline blue with soft silvery, dew-like centers...

Much like the gentle teardrops one would cry,

Free flowing as the river, genuine and pure.

Hate leaned in--his face hovering o'er the face of Love,

The huge blue orbs became like saucers and

Her heart pounded within her chest.

There was a sharp intake of breath....

From both ends.

And now, their lips were but a hair apart...

Every breath that she exhaled,

He inhaled deeply.

Her soft lips

The shade of bubblegum...

Parted ever so slightly.

Until Hate could no longer take it

And

He pulled Love to him possessively.

His mouth came down upon hers

And devoured every inch.

His warm, soft, and tender lips

Pressed against her own.

It was the most passionate

Of all kisses.

This particular kiss

Was both pure & impure

At the same time.

It was innocent & yet, it was a guilty pleasure.

There was compassion mixed with lust,

Honesty & omission of the truth.

How can this really be possible?

How can these opposites intermingle?

Only between Love

And Hate

Can this type of phenomenon occur.

Days, weeks, months, YEARS

Passed by.

Their feelings for each other only grew

Along with Love's belly

She bore Hate 6 sons & 6 daughters

In total.

They named their children

In the order that they came...

They were hereby known as

Lust, Passion, Desire, Purity,

Impurity, Trust, Honesty, Deceit,

Sensuality, Loyalty, Shadow...

& finally...Hope.

Lust, Passion, Desire, Sensuality,

Impurity, Shadow & Deceit

Became very demanding of their parents.

Then one day, Honesty revealed

Their true identities.

This caused Love to commit

Emotional Suicide.

That was also the same day

Poor Hope died.

This is what always happens when Love meets Hate.
