No Chains

love comes and goes ... it can't be bound or chained

Oh to be loved with such fervor
that turns fever-pitched when
 fingers entwine


Oh to be loved with such strength
as mighty as Hercules without
the weight of the world

Oh to be loved-like a ship
anchored secure at harbor
safe and steadfast

For as such love is fevered,
strong yet light
and like a ship

A ship anchored and harbored
at dock - yet at anytime without
notice the anchor may be hoisted

Allowing the ship to sail away
such is love

Author's Note

just some thoughts on how love is not a promise of forever for lovers-
sad but true as Metallica sings..

I liked this! Love may be a stable/shaky thing. But the true adventure starts when you're both on the ship when the anchor gets yanked and ya gotta ride those storms out together.

And even if one ship floats away and you're not on it, there's always one with a bigger anchor to go exploring! :)

Great Ink chloe!

An interesting and appealing series of thoughts, flowing along well ... I liked the charm of love that 'turns fever-pitched when fingers entwine' and thought a lot about the image of the anchored ship that is still free to sail away... and on the tension between love that controls and possesses and love that delights in freedom and the wind that blows on the cheeks...

I looked at this a bit differently. To me, this represented the idea of love being held steady (anchored) and, at any moment, passion could sweep in and carry the 'ship' away.

I see love and passion in your words. One only serves to compliment and heighten the other. I liked this very much.

Lovely write here. Good Job!

Such indeed is love. Really nice, neatly laid-out and structured poem. The comparison with Hercules I like; the imagery is good. Subtle and simple and strong.

I actually think that this is the best thing I have read in a long time.
I really loved the words. Amazing write. I would point out a part I liked best, but honestly I just loved the whole thing this time.
Keep it up.
This one is going into my favorites. :)

Love is a world wide emotion, between lovers it can be a lifetime of relationship and yet it is like a ship...it anchors itself when that special time arrives and when the anchor is lifted (hoisted) time and love move into the next stage...and that is how love goes, it travels the world...
