Love in excess, then:
Life will fiercely end
Like night.
Take up crosses when
The heart of a friend
Goes white,
Cannot comprehend
Worlds of ruthless men.
Hope is rising: bend
And, breaking, distend.
It's right
For the sake of ten,
For hundreds: defend
The light.
Love, hold, befriend;
Love in excess, then.
Have you strength to lend?
Love like you intend.
Forthright
Into flames, descend.
Give: overextend.
Tonight
Moments hold, suspend;
Life will fiercely end.
Who needs you? Pretend
Days are done with them
And fight
To love while they spend
Life with you. Amen.
Ignite!
Life will fiercely end!
Love in excess, then.

I tend to try to choose rhymes that are a little harder to challenge myself, and this time it worked against me. It's a little forced, but alright. I got the point across. I hope. For a world that tends toward selfish carelessness about others, a challenge for you. Lai Nouveau for DFC day 18. [link]
