China Love
I should be able to do
whatever I want to do
until some one stops me;
I have no internal controls
and need
someone
to place upon
me boundaries
that
do not control me
do not restrain me
but give me
energy.
I cannot be contained
or constrained;
I have to be attracted
to handcuffs.
In life
I must be seduced
to freedom
and rebellion
alike.
So if I
smash against
your tender heart
consider that me flirting,
reminding myself
that tender hearts
which survive
my on-onslaught
and come back for more
I have then
the lover who
can be with me;
who
breaks china
in Love's China Shop;
whose Love is strong enough
to repair China dishes
and is
willing
to clean up-
is the love I need
given who I am.
