Love Comes Not To Shackle

For love comes not to shackle but set free To allow strangers to know its splendor When they find their bond is from heart's decree A kiss from this love turns soft and tender Hold not the argued edge to quell love's dream Nor each sigh or tear kept along the way In such a malady, love must redeem And bow with a warm heart so love will stay Though years passing move as forever still The tightly held fingers will bind the hands And hold the precious trust true love will fill Through the days traveled love steadily commands To reveal a keepsake a lover's scroll Whose well-torn page was written by the soul 1/25/20 contest True Love Poetry contest
