Love An Entanglement of Emotions

Wisdom, is it the acrimonious essence of love? Nay, for I see a foolish man subjecting himself Time and time again for the lesson not learned Hence I am stripped of all love’s wealth I question the formula I have applied: That is, is love intense and as beautiful as a sunset? Is it delicate and frail? Or a threat? Is it as strong as the waves of the sea? Tossing a helpless ship? Or as potent as a deadly poison As I keep bringing it to my lips to take a sip? Does it excel as far And beyond the universe? Or is it the madness that is my driven curse? Does my love scare “you?” If so it is not mine but your love You established in me That’s true Love an entanglement of emotions Embraced by the delusional false hope of devotion With a sinister notion Yea, of a foolish man accustomed to drinking the deadly potion

Why is it that out of suffering, something beautiful as this is created?But then they say true genius suffers for its'art.And this is poetry at its' best, extremely moving as though the words have been ripped out of you.You wonderfully put "Love an entanglement of emotions"I agree for it strangely involves hate.I love this poem, again complex,for your pain gives me pleasure.But, to feed my desires.In my heart within I have feelings for you,emphatically brought out through your words. Love June
