Hands chained
Feet fettered
Emotions battered
Hope barracooned
...
Love is a wife
A safe haven for a quiet and settled home
A fragile future you learn to build each passing day
A patient partner holding strong the wheel with you
...
Hew the roof of his mouth for thirst
The tongue of a sucking child
Their sinews stick to the bones
And visage blacker than coal
...
