Hearts Beat

I love you so.
We're different and it shows.
I need to know you love me anyway.
How else can this mistrust be kept at bay?
Unless we strive, with heartfelt care
to find the values that we share -
freely given, joyously returned.
Tempering the fire that still burns
within our souls for mind's ideals.
Reaching out a hand to comfort
sorrows born by one alone.
Offering a gentle kind of action
when the world's sins can't be atoned.
It starts and ends with one alone,
while love becomes the union.
Pouring out its gifts of care
through all the love that flows between
each you and every me.
I love you so.
Please love me in return.
Warmth feels so good, but God, the fire burns
in each battle played out in society.
A kind that never could feel right to me.
No matter any named divinity.
Human in nature, hearts beat at the core
by the meaning in which
all our love has been born.
Ignore it or lose it -
Worst sorrow of all.
People building all those walls.
Love doesn't care.
It needs to share
for real...
