Away, Away

This is a narrative, almost lyrical poem of a love deemed by others as faulty but continued to persist amidst all the cruel judgements.

AWAY, AWAY

 

Away, away, my soul to take

And down to you it falls

Then by these walls, a home to make

As hooded strangers call

Beneath the dark and candle’s light

You held me tight to sleep

Away, away, my soul took flight

And fell to you in deep

And torchlights flamed a killing spree

As souls outside threw spears

You held at love and onto me

And my soul broke to tears

Away, away, our souls have swept

Away from Satan’s blades

Yet both our souls are chained and kept

By hooded strangers’ spades

So we’ll hold on to what was here

As love, and faith, and death

For souls beyond the walls do fear

Away to their last breath.

Dark and powerful words in fierce rhythm that stir the mind and imagination. May love always be stronger than death.

Thank you very much. I'm just beginning my writing journey and support from reviewers like you means so much to me.

Then I truly hope you will stay with us. The more you share, the more you become the poetry.
