The Plunge

Headlong into slavery
I rush with open heart

Knowing I will bind myself
To ache when we’re apart 

I do not heed the signs
That peril lay ahead

But boldly stride toward
My ruined state instead

Before I knew not sadness
Or longing of this sort

I’ve sold myself to yearning
From a far too distant port

At one point I had a choice
To remain in command

Now all resolve is left behind
Keys firmly in Love’s hand

    This is the the love that needs whole surrender of a heart and not many are prepared to go as far to lose themselves for another, shackles are the things that bind us to someone but hopefully they are not visible to the naked eye and rather buried in our heart. C

      Yes, this is really about being in love with someone and separated by distance. A very tough thing to do! Thanks for the very nice comment and for the insprational contest.
