Love Can Be Gentle Poem by Mark Heathcote

Love can be gentle
And, love can fold you
In the arms of an angel
When all else is unattainable
Love can be that burning candle
That warms right through you.

Oh so lustful, oh so primal
Oh so personal, oh so fateful
And oh, sometimes
It even sublimes
The soulful
A little, wrathful

Oh yes, love can be gentle
But it can also be painful
And truly cruel and hurtful
Oh yes, love can be a demon
And, oh, what we call Primeval
Is simply a heavenly fallen gable
Is simply just a wonton
Destruction brutal.
