Set Me Free

there is something
not just in your words
but in them too
not just in the things you do
but in them too

deeper, more subtle
utterly elusive
nameless, invisible,
untouchable, untouched

something
that
you
are

beyond your form

which drives me crazy
makes me drunk

something that i love
beyond reason,
measure or compare

something that i want
more desperately
than my next breath

take me in whole,

gently
like inhaling jasmine scent

undo all the boundaries
of my prison
that separate me
from you

unravel everything
so there is nothing left

turn me into emptiness
set me free
