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!

beautiful such is love...yes one day we shall see a glimpse of love that exist forever

[Desert Dreamer]

While love may not last, "Oh to be loved with such fervor". I really like your first line. We are all lucky to feel the strength of love even once in our lifetime, and we should enjoy each moment as if it will last forever. Great poem about love.

Each stanza may be short but it spoke volumes.I believe the second stanza was about not making any commitment at all so that in the end, there'd be easy way out.

Love is the most delicate emotion isn't it? It doesn't take much for someone to hoist up their anchor and sail away to another distant shore. I liked this longing for security. It is a longing we all hope to obtain and when we have it we wish to keep. I enjoyed this.

There is such beauty in the thoughts of love, and such a bittersweet song with the sadness of love sailing on... You contrast thoughts so brilliantly here.

[Ice QueenJen]

yes this is true and like a ship it has it's ups and downs like the waves tossing it to and fro. But you must start the ride out as friends, then keep the lines of communication open, and hopefully their will be smooth sailing!

Chloe.. Good work here lady. Nice analogy. Love has it all from bow to stern.
how about raised or lifted or some form thereof for the word hoisted. just a thought.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

I don't like the word i used ... hoisted.. not right i need another word i think

Beautiful thought Chloe, although a rather sade ending, such as love, as you say. Love can be fickle too, as we experience in life. Its a funny old game, but we couldn't live without experiencing it. I feel sure that love will drop anchor in your port and stay, we have to take the trip first. A beautifully enquiring love poem that explores loves great depth. I do like the 'Oh to be starts of the first three stanza's, gives the poem an endearing quality.

Smiling at you
