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!

Sometimes love only ends for one, and the other one hangs in the winds of lost love...

sad but true. not all loves last a lifetime. some come and brush us by but define us for the erst of our lives. such indeed is love!

[Jenny Nelson]

Sad but true. Beautifully stated. Wonderful imagery.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is the ind of love that would hold out through thick and thin. I think we all want to find a beautiful love like this one.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I believe in a forever kind of love that neither time nor distance nor even the grave can sever. I have never loved any other way. It's all I know.
