A small word

love
just one word
one word
and so difficult

love
one single word
and a thousand wars
and shattered hearts
covering the city streets
and lonely farm lands

paris and beatrix
hell purgatory heaven
and the smoking ashes of troy

love
this small word

abused
conquered
lied
mended
revoked
caressed
shouted
whispered
written
betrayed
suppressed
cried
silenced
forced
promised

love
this one word
and an infinity
every poet in every time
every letter in every alphabet
every heart in every era
in every land

love
on word

since the the first second was spoken to a cold universe
out of love

every man
every woman
every child

ever
