Love Conquers All?
Love is a powerful emotion.
It drives us to seek it.
We yearn to give it.
We want to swim in it's embrace.
For love, you will scale a mountain.
You will swim the sea.
You will journey wherever you must go.
Love Conquers all.
For love you would face a deadly foe
You would even give your life.
Your every effort would be directed
Toward the happiness of your mate.
This takes you through the highs of meeting
It's with you through the challenge of greeting.
It opens up new ways of thinking
For love Conquers all.
But lovers, don't be foolish.
You must beware the fatal flaw.
A flaw that's sure to doom your future
And the dreams you wish to make.
If everything is perfect, remember it's not quite.
And honeymoons aren't daily life
They're all too short and sweet.
Know your lover. Know them well.
For only then can you unearth the mine.
The fatal flaw buried, abandoned.
And though there is only one,
It's destruction would be complete.
You must be sure that what you need
For your happiness in life.
Isn't something that would make impossible.
Your partner's happiness with you.
There's something in you that you can't deny
To live content and in peace fulfilled.
If this one thing is all that's wrong,
The rest will fall and fail.
Love, you see conquers all.
It is Achilles the mighty warrior
Immune to slings and arrows
Unless they strike that fatal flaw.
In all things there is compromise
Deals, agreements, plans and promises.
And with this love does conquer all.
Except the dreaded fatal flaw.

About this poem:
Powerful poetic rythm and rhyme. Maybe not so much. But an important message to beautiful idealists with pure hearts, sweet minds, great intentions and the power to move heaven and earth for love. You can move heaven and earth. Just as long as you've confirmed that your relationship does not include the fatal flaw. And this is a message of love, hope, joy and maybe if I'm lucky, wisdom. Go... Be happy. And love.
