Given, Not Taken
love can’t be taken
given freely, it grows strong
thriving flowers' ecstasy
dominators learn
roses push away with thorns
love usurped by force will die
unleash if you love
held in a bubble, love bursts
chains will only sever bonds
accept love given
adore the rose when offered
no greater gift is bestowed
