Shackles of Love

Questions teased and awed 
no doubt in amazement 
Intellectual attributes I was 
disturbed by my placement 
soon my shackles of love fell, 
Into pieces upon the ground 
After his perpetual disappearances,
he couldn’t again be found 
Recognize arising consciousness is 
in my awakening 
Eternal commitment, sealed with 
a kiss not enabling 
Shattered self of preservation, 
would only undo 
He was the perfection of all 
existence but was it true 
Only unveiled the nature 
of justice and truth 
I learned the difference between 
what was flawed absolute 
Beyond any description 
enlightenment translate 
He left me broken while feeling 
I was disgraced 
Loving him held a consequence
being getting lost 
Ultimately his love held what 
was too big of a cost
