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!

While I very much enjoy your poetic talent, I am afraid that I have to respectfully disagree with your basic tenets. I believe something more in line with the word of St Paul, who tells us that ...

"Love suffereth long"

I may be naive, but I believe that. I think that anything more fleeting is lust masquerading as love. But as I said. Your wordsmithing is superb.

Yes..........we are never given a guarantee of the "forever" part of love!
I like the way you have given descriptions of the "stay" and "go" of it!
A nice write!

You create such a great vision with your words. The poem told a real story. Love is no guarantee. I like the flow and the perfect ending. A outstanding poem.
