your love is a cage

your love is a cage
with poetry
trapping me in its bars

your love is a ghost
Barely there and haunting
lingering after me
but not there when i turn around

your love is like smoke
fickle, see through
transcendent and fleeting
causing me to choke on its entrails

your love is like water
that i try to catch in my hands by
cupping except they drift through my fingers
makes me want to skip rocks over your surface
just to see if you ripple in response
