The Gift

It is the gift I can give

Yet, still retain possession 

It is the gift I can give

Time and time again

Surrender

I offer it

The balance

Of total trust

Submission 

To be cherished 

Never to be abused

Never taken by force

You may control me

Yet still never own me

Never confuse capture

With willing compliance 

It is my gift

To be treasured 

Not the spoils 

Of some mind war 

You may chain me 

You may break me

You may take me

And never own my gift

No chain

Will ever hold me

As tightly or securely 

As my willing gift

Learn me

Know me

Show me

And you may own me

But 

Even then

It is still

A gift
