Chained

Winged, winking devils dance on onyx tinted wings entice burnt appendages so broken inside rib cage Unable to fly out of this hell hole a shadow lifted nevermore a touch as cold as night lures steel cuts knees buckle, locked down nowhere to run from Rusted chains tighten each new link pierces, digs deep the heart's flesh not enough mercy to shred apart desire kept it beating just ....this must be what love is bound in arms blinded souls cannot escape Tormented visions a dark cloud silhouette spinning around the sun ravished by chaos an ancient evil curse arises within shadows suffering darkness inside embers burning with hot pain buried inside ashes Deeply rooted demonic forces spawn an evil eye turns evolving in bad deeds capturing the innocence of the human sacrifice one beast of an unclean spirit possessing love charms of a snake coils with lust putting a heart in chains attacking with wickedness Fallen angel filled up inside hate and pride cunningly from out of the ashes remains a demonic lapdog violating innocence Soul of impurities a shadow grows darker in every love that is taken unpure vessel when the eyes open to the dawning light A collaboration by Liam McDaid & Kelly Deschler

Oh my, I really felt this!My Gothic heart whispered as I read your powerful work,"It takes one to know one."Safe passages always Kelly in the shadows of night and the thunderclouds at daybreak that would keep you from the light; Thalia.

To relinquish one's soul to love is to chain it to the darkness..my first thought after reading this dark poem

Kelly Deschler

Sadly yes, love can lead us down dark roads and sometimes we forget what love was meant to be... Thank you for reading, Frederic. Both Liam and I appreciate your comments :)
