About the Poem

Seen through the eyes of a man who's discovered his love, yet only to find it is too late. He still loves, yet he can no longer have his lover. Therefore now that he is no more the fool by recognizing his devotion, he is left to love without receiving it in return.

Actual love is an experience, in the burning pain of being lost, the flames of love will flitter.

Entrapment

Hopelessly bound
unfettered
by the chains of love's grip
- greatest gift,
fate's cruelest curse.

Wherefore do I weep
at knowing the joy,
the warmth,
at feeling the peace,
the fire.

Wherefore do I weep
unable to complete ,
to be,
unknown the kiss,
the flames.

Wherefore do I weep
at loving not living
seeing not touching
breathing not sharing
holding not loving?

All,
because I, The Fool,
am no more?

Your poem, short as it is, overflows with touching sounds. I read it more than four times, trying to touch all the corners, but at the end I realised that this poem is unique and can mean a lot of things. poetry at it's best. the kind of poem that push you to think. and imagine. I like it.

Your poem was so very true and touching to me. Because, I have went though the same similar things and that really brought tears to my eyes when I read it. Because, of the simple fact that when things like that happen you really get a insit on how love can make you feel.
