Notes About The Poem

CollaborationJS A SLAVE IN CHAINS Men

- Demons In Chains -

The eyes with chains around the feet,
they can never see the beauty

Beyond the sounds, colors and smell
you get sucked up by the darkness

Sweep away dust and rat feces
the shadows of evil demons

The rainbow is a miracle,
next moment will never come back

Please give life back to these dark eyes
Escape from your inconstant mind

I swear: even the weeds will shine
This song will blow away with time

Even the weeds will shine. They do indeed and that is the truth of most sadness. Kind wishes, Kai

Hi Anne-Lise, this is a different write that comes from your pen and it is exellent. Your words sing out in their strength. Your words sing the emotions of this man in chains. You paint such vivid images Anne-Lise. I love the content. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Indeed, this is a different and thought-provoking approach for you, Sunshine. I think you really got inside the head of the man in the photo and related to his hardships. Well done, Hon! Hugs, Carolyn
