VJs Weekly Challenge – Domino Effect

“I loved her, not for the way she danced with my angels but for the way the sound of her name could silence my demons.” Christopher Poindexter
The Domino Effect
I chained my fevered mind
and tethered my wasted soul,
making incantations,
potions of restraint, yet
in a moment I swam an ocean,
ran a marathon,
and stupored I
wove a path of hiding
in plain sight,
all to no avail,
as I unleashed
my imagination unravelled
in your flesh,
possessed,
my defenses collapsed,
one by one
my chains fell off.

This poem made me smile – so dramatic – who amongst us haven’t sworn off love only to find it making of fool of us.
