Captured by the embrace of love

We are all captured by the embrace of love,

That evil mefistress ,

She skulks in the darkest corners of our mind,

Waiting for it's moment to strike ,

Like a coiled cobra,

 

She will claim us for her very own ,

All has been lost,

Now she comes to destroy our last hopes,

That last shred of dignity,

 

Love would be fine,

So would hate,

If only we could love and hate the right people,

Everything would be ok,

 

Wouldn't it?

Love is like wine. We keep the bottle safe and protected. Will improve with time. Abuse and mistreat. Will sour and be useless. Love is timely and luck. Need two people at the same place wanting the same things. I like the complete poem. The ending was perfect. A excellent poem. Thank you.

pretty insightful on how we sometimes feel out of control and even turn to hate when it comes to the vulnerability and strength of love or the lack of it...

Lovely and sweet.

Not bad for the first write in months. It is actually quite good. Just two bumps in the road for me.. "mefistress" is this your own made up word, or do you mean "mistress"... next one is stanza one, line 4.. should read "her moment" instead of "its moment"... Great write Sherb

Love and hate are opposite sides of the same coin, good poem.

[Alvin L. Kathembe]

it would, i guess...or love the right people, and ignore all the rest. ;)
great work!

i like this. the questions asked and thoughts shared are very powerful. there's a few little awkward places and in line 4, you refer to something you already called 'she' as an 'it'. great closing line, friend :)
