Love Cage

Obsessed

By love.

I wonder why

People are

Obsessed

By love.

Are we not whole?

Are we not strong?

I know love.

But when I share

You want it all.

The love in my heart

Would burst your heart

If I gave my whole

To you.

If I gave my heart full of love

To you

It would overwhelm you.

Yet others yearn for love

And you yearn for them

To find love.

But not my love.

My love

You want to keep

Like an animal in a cage,

Wild

Yet tamed,

Prowling

Unfree

And waiting to explode

When the cage is opened.

And then

It will go

Far from you

And you will write poems

About wishing you could find love.

But when you do

You will put it in a cage.
