Velvet Chains

Velvet Chains

Promises, bound us

In thread of words,

Give hope a new

In this hopeless world,

Such a mundane word

Hold power so high,

To the drowning lives

A Promise to rise...

Nothing escape

Darkhole of greed,

Promise used

As a tool of need,

Shackle hearts

Will immured in cage,

Peace of mind

Alter in blind rage...

Relief of heart

Like velvet sheet,

Some promises bring

Enormous grief,

Forced to hold

Right to choose,

Those poisonous pledge

Put soul on noose...

Enchanted enough

This "promise" word,

Sooth despair mind

Like calming draught,

Though many try

To keep it encaged,

But light of life

Keep promises arranged.
