Promptly Poetry Challenge 2021-22

Loves, Hopes [Week 17 entry]

Loves, Hopes


Loving, enjoying each new day
Open and caring is our way.
Vengeance doesn't color our path,
Even as ire tries to hold sway.
Sealed with a kiss - fight's aftermath.

Hope lights us up, though skies be gray,
Off'ring a future filled with play,
Patching up minor bouts of wrath,
Edging us 'way from pique's warpath.
Springing eternal, come what may.
