Prisoner of Love

A prisoner of romantic love,
mesmerized
by her glowing flame,
her beauty,
her goddess power free.

Blinded, he doesn't see
his desires smothering her;
his fear of losing
closing the blinds
on the windows of his soul,
and no permanence visits
their mutually-shared space.

Forgetting his own needs
only wanting her,
he starves his soul,
to possess: his constant attention,
like dripping rain from a roof
intrudes into her private world,
feeds her growing resentment.

How can one offer love
from the threshold of control?
From the fear of losing?
True love does not keep company
with a possessive pronoun.

...And if you change the gender,
the conclusion is the same...
