Love In Chains

Lust is the chain that anchors us,
     forged of thick iron rings
          molded in white-hot flame.

The links tighten as they cool,
     closing the final gaps
          that separate us.

So here we are, willingly bound,
     enslaved first by fire then
         sealed forever by the strengthening cold.
