I can tell you now love,
I am not perfect
In this cage of flesh, I am bound,
I am not whole
But you, love, you define me
You define us all
I don’t want to indulge
I don’t want to seek
Perhaps not even to yearn
I don’t want to want
But to be free
For you are that freedom,
The true infinite,
The real lover behind the veil
If I could want but a thing
It would to be free from fleeting desire
For as the ache in my heart doth know
You’re all I need,
Your fire
