Love Poem: Bound

Written by: Darrell Rose

Bound

I am but a prisoner 
held by memories of a grieving mind 

There seem’s no key that can release me 
Save the healing hands of time
 
Were I not chained…….so tightly bound 
by responsibilities which hold me tight

I would be pursuing you my love
With every ounce of mortal  might 

This burning flame - my loving heart -
 and  my soul - born but for you

I live in prayerful hope- and taste of dream 
our time together be not through

Yet here am I……..by service bound, 
Swaying upon the seas

With fearful thought,,,best of our love……
be found in our memories


Chained 
Without hope of escape
Forced to replay
Our days now past

Bitter tears,,,,,the only sweetness yet remaining
