The spontaneity of love is strengthened with freedom and should never be possessed. Love cannot be controlled, nor dictated, but allowed to grow within its own space.

If we confine love

In a horrible cage,

It would lose its luster

And tarnish with age.

If we value it,

Yet completely possess it,

We would do nothing,

But unfairly depress it.

Give it a palace,

A jewelled crown,

Heights without purpose,

It would still be down,

Nor would it tarry,

Its purpose not wait;

Give it its freedom,

Before it’s too late.

If we hold it secure

In the wrongful belief

That it could be saved

From a handful of grief,

It would be unwise

On our part, for there is

The importance of feeling

Its genuine bliss.

Love needs its own space

And nourishment, too,

In a palace or cottage,

Either would do.
