A Dare Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

A Dare

Rating: 5.0


You and I against the world
Is the lingering burden in our hearts
So near physically with each other
Yet so far we can not have freedom
To savor the colors of our love divine

You and I against the world
Is the pain we suffer in our hearts
So cruel people do not sympathize
And denied us the splendors of love
We ought to share within our souls

But at the end of the rugged road
That we treaded without remorse
And tackled the trials along the way
With true love blazing in our hearts
It was worth the sacrifices after all

There is power in love, a power in togetherness that transcends mere quantification.

To 'dare' to be bold, to be true, to be different. What a strong, courageous poem. I read this line as suggestive of a relationship between mixed races or cultures: 'Yet so far we can not have freedom To savor the colors of our love divine' But whatever the subjects of your piece, you have written it with great passion and a love of language. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
