Brave Love

A Dime a Dozen

 

Something that is easily acquired—cheap or abundant.

____________________

 

There are—

But two things in this world,

That are entirely free.

 

One—

Smiles.

And to my knowledge,

They are not abundant.

Neither are they easily acquired.

 

Two—

Love.

And to my knowledge,

It is hatred that is abundant.

 

And perhaps this is why the world is in chaos—

The fact that people are blinded by the wrong things.

 

Not by Love,

But by wealth and riches.

 

Was this what we were made to be?

Known as greedy men who cannot see?

 

Then shall we—

Without Love,

Walk to the ledge;

And let greedy wealth shove

Blind man off Love’s edge?

Brave Love Chapter 12: A Dime a Dozen

[Xander]

 

There is a ticking sound when I go,

I don’t know when it started—

But heart I know,

It was when we parted.

Tick, Tick…

Pass me a knife, quick—

Wither why

I do not die

I know not why.

Tick, Tick…

I know what makes me sick;

What but my own existence

With Life’s constant persistence?

But I know how,

What was abundant then;

I do not have now—

Was his smile when
