    Poem Commentary

    How does it feel to be in love, or to be lost in love??

    Lost Love

    Memories of her rise

    Like blood on jagged glass

    Each time it brushed

    A fresh drop trickled down

    Currents of agony strike

    Leaving me in constant pain

    Waking me up of my numbed state

     

    Do I want free from it?

    Don’t I wish to run my hand

    Over the jagged ends of glass

    To feel that feeling again and again?

    Love boxes you in that feeling

    But lost love takes you to a treasure

    A treasure you want never put down

    I like the thought you give before reading the poem. Also, the jagged glass puts an image to the pain of being hurt, but still wanting to go deeper into the skin. A metaphore to the lost painful feeling of love when it cuts the soul. However, not knowing if it was a great sacrifice or a deadly wound.

    Thanks for your appreciation and thoughts. Jagged glass surely an important imagery here.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
