Frankincense

 

By his aura have words incendiary
turned into Cinderella cinders.
By his halo has hatred incensed
become sacred fragrant frankincense.
By his healing touch has
angry mayhem
bloomburst into
flowerfringed May's hem.

The Power

Someone once sang "that's the power of love." An entertaining song, for sure, but your words do capture the magic of that power. You really draw in not just the emotions, but the physical senses of sight, smell, and touch with "By his halo has hatred incensed / become sacred fragrant frankincense". That, to me, is a really great pair of lines. Memorable and meaningful, for sure.
