O' LOVE you have imprisoned me
with a feeling where I feel nothing,
Other than YOU.
Your masquerading customs,
Coaxed my imaginations
To think and breathe you,
And only You.
Caged birds live in pain to die happily,
A zoo tiger has no territory to mark,
Crocodiles have no freedom to swim
And I am imprisoned in love bounds,
With no escape from You.
The cage, I am in,
Does not have doors,
Nor is locked from outside,
Yet why I am in, I wonder.
For what and how is unknown.
The cage, I am in, Does not have doors, Nor is locked from outside, Yet why I am in, I wonder. For what and how is unknown. Excellent finish.
Title pulled me to read this wonderful poem, I feel sad for caged bird and animal kept in zoo and you did justice by equating it with love.
Love is selfless and demands freedom not slavery. Profound poem.
Yes we all go thru this but with animals too strange. Your masquerading customs, Coaxed my imaginations To think and breathe you, And only You.
What beautiful and mysterious imprisonment, love is! So perfectly and intimately described in this poem of far reaching pain yet bliss. A work of unforgettable depth and soul.
An interesting and deep poem, on how love sometimes ensnares.5 stars.
Who cares what is happening around, love will enslave for sure.
