Heart in shackles

by aquila kalas   Feb 3, 2011


Listen to the steady thumping
, The pain that from my heart is pumping.
From my heart there is a steady flowing,
Hurt from wounds, lesions and lacerations
In deepest forms they need stitches even operations.

Cupid's arrow sears through my soul
Love, beautiful pierces through my bones.
The agony leaches through my whole
, So ironically pitiful.
Love sometimes is not so blissful.
Its wild, am sure, its powerful.
For the love of you my heart wears a big shackle.

Would I ever be with you?
For an eternity I have admired you.
Would I ever be more than a friend, an acquaintance?
Would I ever more than stare from a distance?
So heavy, this loving you, my strength buckles.

In prison, dying of starvation,
The hunger for your soothing affection
The pain increasing with great acceleration
Time's passing decreasing, slow, slow retardation.
My passions,' bond is too strong,
My love's sentence, too long
Is my love's intention that wrong?

My agony with hard labor,
Has love hath no favor?
I have emotions like razors.
Instead of being light headed,
They devour me like wild alligators
Instead of singing songs cheerfully worded
With bitter agitation I am glutted.

My dreams, even with you they are haunted.
With night shivers like malaria fever.
Love's venom rattling through me
In the hot weather of the Sahara
Your smiles and touches like endless mirages

You alone can free me
You are the key to my hearts prison.
But believe me, I will never be free from my love for ye
For, forever my heart remains shackled to thee.

    Strong words from a gifted poet.
    it didnt feel all the smooth and flowing but that helps reflect the broken and raw emotion that this piece describes.
    well written 4*
