The Freedom of Love

 

I can enjoy your passions

And I can accept

Your faults.

 

You are human

As am I.

You are not a fantasy.

 

But fantasies

We can enjoy

Together.

 

I am free because I know

You can't keep me

From becoming who I am.

 

Come with me and share

The spaces we move in,

But won't crowd into one.

 

Let's not be afraid of the dark

Or to go naked

In the afternoon.

 

Accept now the love

I feel for you,

For now is all we are.
