Of love and bonds
Make not a bond of love
For bonds, simply hold down
Love demands expansion with every breath we own
Forfeit self, hurt, expectation, worldly renown
Yet those bonds of love, that I have known
Untainted by expectation, have steadily grown
In me, seeds of love have sown
Lets me expand into the unknown
Love subsumes bonds into it's own
To untangle them,set you free, in love,grown.

P.S. this poem came to me in response to a prompt ( bonds of love) on a facebook poetry group, wordsmiths . With apologies to Khalil Gibran fro the first line which is similar to one of the line sin Marriage- The Prophet .
