Possessed By

Possessed by a wild, free spirit

She stands, unsure which road to take

For he takes her heart and bends it

Until she fears that it will break

Like a blossom overladen by the rain

It is filled, by him, to overflowing

How she wonders at the power

A man can have without knowing

Just what he has caused to flower

 

Possessed by the loveliest rose

He stands, still unsure what will be

For now, his heart is sitting in repose

As he fears the end of wild and free

Like a bird in a cage, his soul singing

It trills for her warmth and her touch

And he wonders how, from the start

A woman can mean so very much

To one who tried to close his heart
