LOVE NOT POSSESSION

You couldn't write poetry without a love poem. This is simple and maybe needs more but its real

I am not trying to possess you
I just want to be in your heart
Hold you when we are together
Anticipate you when we are apart
You are my ultimate aspiration
I don't seek meaningless passion
I just desire to gain your love
As we embrace when it happens
I want to love you without end
I want to be a part of your world
Embracing life as I breathe you in
When you let desire finally unfurl
Born out of a exquisite bouquet
You are a rare flower to find
No thorns to drive me away
I need your rose to be mine
No I don't seek to possess you
I just want you close to me
Frolicking in our passion
Two lovers who are meant to be

Beautiful. This is brilliant. I instantly thought about the notion that people want a sense of freedom in a relationship, but they also want to be able to "keep" the other person. To say "he/she is mine" you know? Great job! :)

Yes, I agree. That is the twist and turn of a relationship. That unique reciprocity is what makes it worthwhile. Thank you for reading when you did.
