What can you do with love let loose?
Hunt it down and rig the noose?
Or let it grow and render blind?
By stressing heart and dulling mind?
So many questions, what's the answer?
Is love superb or love a cancer?
I know not this but this I do,
Love is love and that is true.

I thought that the first four lines were particularly well-constructed and insightful. The last stanza doesn't seem to accomplish as much, but it isn't bad, just not quite as good as the first.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the number of question marks makes the poem visually unique.
(I'm not much of a poem person, but this one made me want to get up and show it to somebody else. Thought you might like to know.)
This poem has a more classical style to it. I like the way you use words here, but I agree with the first person about the first stanza meaning a lot more than the second.
