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.
Entrapment |
| by Christopher |
| 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 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.

This poem is short, simple and sweet and the reader or i should say my self did not have to go into a thinking mode to know what the writer was saying. In the end of it all I like this poem very much.
Shannon
Beautiful poem- I know how it feels. but I have not lost faith in love.
SYLVIA
The Poem was WOW. Sometimes how we feel is not appreciated and this poem describes the feeling one is left with after rejection. I am especially touched by the post of ANONYMOUS who said he/she is only 15 years old. I am a mom to twin boys. Get assured that I care.

This is the best poem I have read. It makes me feel better about my hell of a life. I am close to death. I not once had a friend or a love. Lonely life of hell. I am only 15. I cant stand being alone. I dont want to die alone.

your poem is truly beautiful. it encompasses the human nature of the soul never being satisfied with what it has found only to realize later that fate and true love occur so rarely.

This poem speaks to me, but not with words through mouths. through the speakers of my mind. I felt amplified as I read your poem, Chris, because, from writer to writer, I have wrote coutless others just like it about the same painful subject. I wish you luck on the long healing process, I am not there yet, but I hope you are.

Chery
Passion is power, and you truly show the passion which radiate in your soul. My the love that you feel be your anchor.
Wayne
The truth behind this poem is astonishing. Like many, i've made the biggest mistake of letting what felt like Real Love go. It's always so difficult thinking back about how i left the most amazing girl for another, thinking that it was a good decision, turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. Now that i've realized this, it's too late, can't love her like i wanna.
daveybugeja
I am gutted and I am a writer.but now my hand does not dance upon the page as it once did. I do not bleed ink. Christopher, your poem became my voice. I am so incredibly sad.
Paula
someone once loved me,true to say i never thought that anyone could.i loved this man greatly not the big things but the little things he did. i pushed him away,so he would come running back and that would prove that he loved me and i would feel secure again. one day i pushed him again.he never came back. i know true love lasts forever at first i felt it was unrequited otherwise he would of came back, but there is only so far you can go isn't there.i know love and the joy that goes with it.unfortunately i know the pain too. amazing poem you can tell the poet was in my situation.
Nicole
That's what he did to me, it hurts to be taken for granted. Yet it hurts even more to know that he may feel it too, Like your poem says.
Sarah
Thats beautiful! It describes how i feel perfectly.
Jennabean
this one is great..i just lost the love of my life and this poem means so much to me
Barby
I thought this poem was fasinating. It explains all the feelings I've had. and it's not every day you can relate to a poem like I did to this one. all I can say is you are an awsome writer and thank you for allowing us to read your work.
Elizabeth

Courtney

Bryan

Brian
I'm living the moment your poetry describes. I see no end in the same way. this is an infinite love I have for this person, yet we can never be. I find solace in knowing that I'm not the only one that would make this sacrifice of the heart in the name of the truest Love I'll ever know. Thank you. I shall be posting the words born of of that experience. words that were inspired by her. Thank you!
LoneStar
How true it is to love someone only to find the love is not shared or circumstances in life cannot permit it. The feelings of these lines are shared my many.
