Chained To The Bond Of Love
February 28, 2017
Eyes closed.
Screaming mind.
You can't run.
You can't hide.
Soft touch.
Gripping hands.
Stuck on a
different land.
Breathless.
Beating heart.
Butterflies.
Can't part.
Light kisses.
Rough touch.
Holding close.
My crutch.
Eyes open.
Smile wide.
Can't leave
my side.
You're mine.
Forever yours.
Don't worry.
Love sores.
You and me
Always and forever
Chained to the bond of love.

This is terrific!! a few comments as you asked: If you say smile wide instead of smiling wide the syllables will match up better. in the second to last stanza, if you said something about love's sores instead of soars, it would connect the toe idea of crutch chain being being something you are telling someone not to worry about. Also, I think the ending is not as strong as the rest of the poem, maybe because it is all one sentence instead of the short statements previous. overall though it is very good!
