JesseWindsor in Poetry & Free Verse

I set you free.

My soul aches as much for you as for the man I once was.

Knowing both those things are not possessions but expressions.

Seeking a way from ever new ethereal cages but fighting the desire to put you in one.

The one we both created our own versions of.

As so many before have failed and even more still stumble the way in utter darkness.

I want to only watch you grow and love each step you take.

In my immaturity and blindness I almost asked you the most seeming precious question until I realized that too was a cage.

For no matter how long we stay together or how often we are apart.

Letting you hold my heart is freeing.

And asking you that fatal question...

Is the most gilded cage I have ever created for you have always been part of me...

But it was never fair to ask possession of you.

Commonly referred to as being mine...

So fly free my angel.

But don't worry I choose you always.

Forever I choose to give you myself.

And I am always blessed when you choose to share you with me...

As always I am forever on my way to you...

And to only the true God do I ever defer...

Home is calling again...

You need only leave the door open for me...

Love you agape for all of infinity...

But possession you are not...

See you soon!!!
