Ooooo.... I really like the use of the 'reverse metaphor' on this one... or should that be just metaphor 'in reverse'...? lol!! Either way, it works beautifully in conveying your serene message of needing love's presence in one's heart and one's life -- great job!! ;) Thanx for sharing! ;) :) Yvette
Please forgive the tardiness (again!)...I'll probably catch up in time to fall behind again starting Wednesday (going to the in-laws - send the Calvary if I'm not back by Sunday!!)

Wonderful presentation. The artwork and purple background with white lettering, centered, was the way to go. The first three lines speak to me, although, the word "surrender" isn't the way for me to prevent loneliness. I think the ending line is sad and if true, unfortunate, for the one who desires 'imprisoned' love. If love imprisons me then I will have none of it. I would rather be free and alone, than a prisoner to a lover. But, that's just me. I'm sure a lot of people here will relate to what you have written. Good work on trying a challenging form. It's well done, I just have trouble with the ending message.
Take care, Jesse

    I've had that happen to me as well. Sometimes you don't see it until you see it through someone else's eyes.
    You're welcome.

    Exactly, I did just change the last line to see what others may think (by welcoming love)

I think this is a lovely verse for the 5 Line Poem contest.
Your short poem tells a story of surrendering loneliness and imprisoning love. What a splendid concept.
Well done and good luck with the contest.
Sharon

Good poem - but might not want to imprison love - rather let it out to breathe and grow (my opinion) - still a very nice poem with a good message, that's for sure.

So true and yes, profound! It never stops, the seeking of love, whether it be benign or torrid it is ever-present in our daily comings and goings. Love is the supreme subject of our everyday living! Well done1

I think this is a truism that is well-done in the short poetic format here. I like the graphic art choice with the slightly cold colors reminiscent of a prison but the purple adds the element of love's feeling.
