This poem is written with a weight that is rare even in dramatic poetry. I am not sure, but if my instincts are correct this is a love poem of sorts. It brings to mind the idea that "We were the two things in the Galaxy God didn't have his eyes on."
Tender words, brought with poetic force and the rare delight of Art! If my interpretation of this is correct and it is about love my conclusion is that its a love deeper than our culture encourages, one that brings life and transcendence.
Milton's Child of course makes me think of Paradise Lost and of Adam and Eve, and there is no higher love than Adams acceptance of the fruit for Eve's sake. Victory in defeat, and there is none higher.
Truly the only mystery to me is the captive you speak of.
If I am incorrect with my love interpretation I have made a great fool of myself, but regardless your references and idea's speak volumes to your talent and intelligence.
To finish I merely wish to say that while your Ideas are great, it gets noticeably unintelligible around the cave part, some clearer language would be welcomed. And its not my style to point out grammatical errors and the such so i will leave that to the more left brained.
