Kelly Deschler Poet Free verse

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

Frederic Parker June 6, 2016 at 5:31 PM To relinquish one's soul to love is to chain it to the darkness..my first thought after reading this dark poem Kelly Deschler June 18, 2016 at 12:12 PM 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 :)
