Love is a prison, amongst other things <br />Love can find you and bind you <br />And never set you free. <br /> <br />Love is a bringer-home of truths <br />Love allows you a mirror-self to see <br />That years ago and years ahead <br />Are not enough to give you liberty. <br /> <br />Love is a prison, a power-quotient <br />Love should give you wings to flee <br />Instead of clipping them, silencing your song <br />Love should set you soaringly free. <br /> <br />Love is not as easy or free <br />As dreams have made it out to be <br />Love can help you or cripple you <br />But now, that is another story. <br /> <br />To each his own way of loving <br />Some weep and others keep <br />Their hearts in a cast iron chest <br />Then love becomes a prison, a life test; <br />Then flee-that is really the best.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-a-prison-amongst-other-things/
