Woman In Chains

 


Her smiles of valour encase her agony--

  broken dreams crawling to murmur in pain,

   her fiery scars pound against her sanity

    struggling in twisted ropes of silent screams.

     A wounded Athena, she is a woman in chains

      staring at her shattered reflections.


  Her shades of red, they haven't seen--

   polished above tattered breaths,

    tender shrieks buried under forced arms

      blurred visions of screaming tyranny.

       A trampled magnolia, she is a woman in chains

         rotting in her Carmen of morose ember.


    Oh woman! You embrace scars with dignity

       ethereal flow of progeny in evil hands,

   your banished desires in shriveled ages

      lost in spiral cobwebs of festered veins.


  Her miserable existence in liberation--

   burning thorns in mourning labyrinths,

    she simmers courage in dried paranoia

     a streak of red blood, no longer she'd fear.

      A goddess flickering amber lamps of hope

       her essence flows through mankind.


     Oh woman! Feel the celestial powers

         preserved in your gracious bosom,

     your afflicted pain nurtures patience

        strong enough to bend heavenly tides.


       A wounded Athena, a trampled magnolia

          A rotting Carmen, a goddess she is..


    The woman in chains pours forgiveness 

      filling oceans from azure exuberance,

    her selfless heart of mellowed love

      permeates Satan's abode with virtue.


    The woman in chains wears sacrifice

        her gossamer veil embraces men's follies,

   she carries the elixir of compassion

       ripples of hopes for scarred souls.


         Oh woman! They oppress you in madness,

       to your sanctity they bow in agitation,

    timeless tragedies in forgotten fires

  you dust your wings to fly again.
