I feel like a bird;
Caged within the walls of fire;
I remember what someone wise said;
Your greatest enemy is your own desire.
I feel the wind outside;
Hugging the world in sheer delight;
My heart aches to be aside;
The one who Pleases my sight.
Love is hard to shake;
It makes even the sane insane;
It makes your heart so weak;
And gifts you a bouquet of pain.
Love is as sweet as wine;
And rules your mind with pride;
It makes you say, 'Your mine';
And leaves you dreaming wild.
Love is a subtle feeling;
So much deceptive and tantalising;
That keeps your soul yearning;
To know its deep hidden meaning
Desire as enemy; Imagination of getting inside a cage of fire; Sheer delight to hug the world inside, making the sane insane, dreaming wild, yearning soul…… Very good use of images and the words……. You have a powerful imaginative mind. Make use of it to write romantic poetry.
Indeed our greatest enemy could be our desires if we become their slaves. An insightful portrayal of might spiritual experience that is love - a voyage of pure bliss, nicely written from the heart with conviction. Thanks for sharing.

Love is the ultimate drug and the secret to life, so many get caught by the effects and don't know how to nourish it correctly. It falls victim to corruption and death, sadness, and despair settle in its place. Your poem portrays that well thank you!
