Love is not...
Love is not gilded cage
holding fleeting angel
ever earthly bound.
Nor shining mirror
only fathomless pool
reflecting true desires.
Not brave protector
but soothing respite
during battle’s lull.
Nor bonded keeper
weakening bright shoot
under brooding shadow.
Not threat, not fear,
nor promise of eternal light.
Not boundary or design
only uncharted path.
