Control

I want you to shatter
at the depth of my feeling
I want you to shiver
in my embrace.
I want  credit for every
moment of rapture
written across your face.

I want joy
when I tell you I love you
I want promises
that you mean to keep
I want contracts of love
that bind you
that say you belong to me.

I want to blind you
to men who could steal you,
more handsome,
less touched in the head.
But sense wins out over
nonsense (my heart)
and I let you live free instead.
