Something That Love Cannot Hold Poem by Suki Nakamura

there is something in me that cannot be held by love
no matter how gentle are its hands
no matter how careful

love warms me but i escape
love caresses me but i long for more

there is something beyond love

it is not in the sky above
it is down on my feet

the freedom of the dust
the playfulness of the wind

so do not just say you love me
do not be too careful about me

there is something in me that is restless and free
something that you cannot gently hold

there is this wild fire burning
and your love cannot put it off

i long to fly on the wings of my senses
and you can not stop me with your fences
