Heart Links

My heart is linked to hers
No matter where her heart is
The link pulls and tugs me towards her.
I wear the chain I forged in love link by link,
I bound my heart to hers of my own free will.
And of her own free will she wears the link to me.
We may be miles apart, yet along the links the warm love flows,
So that we are never really apart, just a link away.
We wear the links we forged in love,
We linked our hearts together of our own free will
And of our own free will we wear our binding links—
There is nothing that can break the links we forged in flames of love—
Except a certain icy cold curved bladed scythe…

I voted for "Fear of Drowning" but it was a flip a coin decision between it and yours... I love love love the last two lines... they are beautiful...

and then the Dickens "Christmas Carol" reference... I really enjoy it too.. reminds me of Jacob Marley's ghost...

I wear the chain I forged in love link by link,
I bound my heart to hers of my own free will.


*smile*... anyways, just wanted to say that I really liked it... quite a beautiful poem...

cheers

Your poem was lovely, the many links that bind you to your love, how well said. And yes, that ending was really gripping, 'till death us do part' said in your own poet's voice.

Sadly, there are not a lot of voters, Pen, which would have really made a difference, I am sure. Be not discouraged -- contests are contests -- you know that you had a winner with that poem, and I am sure that the love of your life is smiling. And that is what really counts. Cheers, Kizzo

Oh poohy on those votes, you don't need 'em.

What I'm curious about is this cryptic ending: (C'mon Pen, give us a little insight...what's this "icy cold curved bladed scythe" really saying?!?!!


There is nothing that can break the links we forged in flames of love—

Grim Reaper... You didn't get the memo?

I really liked this poem, Pen, especially the 'til death do us part style finish. Yours would have been my second choice I think, but Virg's poem really blew me away in that contest. I didn't realize this got no votes. Maybe just not enough people voting.
