Broken Chain

The day was dying in my hand, words played upon my stage, voices cried out, faces faded in light dancing in lies, she tricked the sun to stay a moment longer, in the beams of jail bars, we lived one more song, the want still moves, but the earth gives up not her dead. 

In a place where lovers dream

Tight felt heart it screams

On a bed of stone

So all alone

We succeed

Lover in my life

Sharp the pain

Dull the knife

Only hope to grieve

His heart wears her sleeve

In the shackles of the night

 

 

On the boarder of my mind

Like a love in line

 

A master’s touch

Oh I loved her so

 

And the tears leave

Marker of sand and believe

 

Make a promise kept

Stop and wept

 

Slept on the edge of time

 

Just a wonder to view

Love in love true

 

So will and fame

Hers the game

 

What did he see too

 

Silver bullet came

Reveille played

 

Soft the gospel call

Wish in love recall

 

Hour glass in turned down mode

 

See the want on the wind

Color faces come pretend

 

Ask in bottom weave

Only love preserved

 

Pleaded in her stand

 

Woman in need

Anchor tight to sleeve

 

Last of hope descends

Will it ever come again

 

Trust in the future creed

 

I was the wind

Sin upon begin

 

Only voice in the night

Held her love

 

Kept it tight

As the music died

 

In a place where lovers dream

Tight felt heart it screams

On a bed of stone

So all alone

We succeed

Lover in my life

Sharp the pain

Dull the knife

Only hope to grieve

His heart wears her sleeve

In the shackles of the night

Love is never sweet. There are always some pain and sadness inside it. That is like the life works. You express it very good, Walt! I like this poem!

My favorite lines:
'...Only hope to grieve

His heart wears her sleeve

In the shackles of the night'


"Only voice in the night

Held her love


Kept it tight

As the music died"

Thanks for sharing this work, Walt!
