Chains-Breaker

Primordial metal links
Rusty with age
Clicking and clacking
Pulling ineffectively

Bound since the beginning of time
Chains of darkness, shackles of pain
Mythological Sysiphus a painful reality
Pushing ineffectually, no avail

All hope is seemingly gone
Darkness prevails
People revelling in their own perfidy
Lost by choice

Also by choice did He allow Himself to be bound in our place
By a drop of blood and a pound of flesh
The chains are broken, wrists and ankles relieved
Sacrificial lamb in exchange for filth

Fragmented parts made whole again
Glued by blood, flesh for flesh
Lifeless clicking replaced by living waters
Released from bonds yet undeserving

Unto You I surrender
Master of Love who is Love Himself
Feared darkness transformed into beautiful colors
By His loss we eternally gained

A perpetual addition.

Like World's Apart, every line pierces like a dagger (o di ba, bigla rin ako naging poetic? hehe :) )

Seriously, it's like that talaga

Keep writing. More of the Gospel message in this literary form :)

I wrote a new one, but it's it's more of a Christmas theme, so I don't know if I should post it now or wait until December.:p

What do you mean, "it's like that talaga"? What's "like that"? (Sorry, slow na naman).
