She said she
comes in peace
but she means
business.
But how can
this be,
since this business
of peace is
war over victory
of the love
in my heart.
My heart can
never be won
by any brutal
means or force,
not even
manipulation
or persuasion.
It can only
be yours by
my wilful
reciprocation
of genuine love.
It can only  
yield and be
won when you
come with love.
It's only that
kind of love
that makes me
do silly things.
Come with
tenderness into
my heart to
reassure me of
your love.
No struggle is
needed to get it.
It is yours
but you have
to earn it.
Try to get
it and claim
it as yours
if you can.
I am willing.
