SHACKLES OF PAINS Betwixt a thick blanket of clouds, Stood a lone heart adorned in scarlet, Imprisoned like convict In an island of thoughts, Locked and caged from love's rage. But, How long, Burdened heart, will you sojourn In clutching chains? Isolated in silence mixed with tranquility With pint of serenity. Wake up! Tortured heart, fettered from rest And feel free like a caged bird, Loosed from shackles of pains. © Peterphad 2020 Shackles
