Fay Slimm - Love on a Leash.

Debarred from showing
their kept-in-check love,
They restrain and muzzle
with reined-in feelings.

Within delirious kind
of above average
bond she and he
struggle to untie destiny.

Confined to a cage,
Smothered in tightened
restraint, their control
bridles the moment.

Inhibits things that
convention impedes
and constrains.
Yet needs unshackled
break through.

The binding of two
disciplined souls
is true.
They will tie forever
their yoke.

Sealed are their feelings.
Cloistered
and yet within bounds.
They reply that time
will not limit
or bind with restriction
their fate.

They intend, in the end,
to achieve.
