NDK Poetry Collection: In an Articulate Way: Chains of Commitment

by NDK Creative Artist

Of my own free will
I give you these chains to lay on me
They’re mine to give
to the one who’ll set me free
They’re my chains of commitment
Forged in the fires of heartbreak
Smelted from my Honor
Bonded by my word
betrayed too many times
Every link is a lesson
I’ve beaten from my life
So rust won’t mar my trust

Erosion cannot touch these chains
for they’re cast in esteem
of my own mettle
They are not heavy to carry
For they’re cast upon my Honor
So tether me to you with these sweet bonds
Life’s rough weather will not waste them
For to you
Do they belong

Where do we go now?
