A powerful love affair

Words, I have found words to describe this affair
Of a man and another or a woman or of women two.
Where each one had a heart made of flesh and blood
As much as the best one should be; well, that everybody knew.

This one contributed in humility, strength and pardonment
While there was another, equally strong and compassionate;
Although this was of knowledge to only a few.

Their identities, notwithstanding, they could be anybody,
But I knew them intimately. Oh, so intimately, I could’ve been their third.
However, I was not of necessity to them, but they to me.

Their love and the sheer power of it transcending the mere boundaries of flesh
And I soaked it, basked in its glory, like a lotus lost without its pond, in a dungeon.
Yes, such was their love, their connection.

The connection that arose from one’s soul that connected midway with the thread of the second’s
Was visible to the naked eye, if one were as depraved as me or knew what it was.

The purity of connection, the transparency and innocence of it,
Well, I could only look at it as a starved dog’s first meal in weeks.

Such was their power that they did, not only, arise inspiration in other people, as individuals,
But, did so within and amongst themselves.

Such was their power that their combined rage could destroy creation
And the same care could nurture it for eternity.

These fanciful, flowery words are all I have for now,
For when, if, I am ever able to see someone and time would cease to exist,
I will make sure to savour it and, in gratitude to all my teachers,
Give these lessons to fellow men and women, no questions asked.

Till then, I will learn, this art to couple, not just in anthropology, but, in spirituality.

A vision come true

I've been writing about you for years
And never was I able to truly put you in words.
I've been writing about you for years
And was always lost in an emotional herd

I've written about this for years
Because there were just scattered pictures with no clear image.
All I've done for you is write about this for years
Because now I can tell and not live in that age.
There it is, that vision finally come true.

This was as far in the past as I'd like it to be
I had a vision of you I then wished you could see.
I saw you holding a little girl, an infant first and then a young lady.
She was, sometimes, giddy with giggles, or just comfortably sleepy.

She would look at you and you would see yourself in her,
A part of your soul, a beating heart you birthed.
You would look at her, contented and happily tired,
Take her in your arms and fly her around your shared imaginary world.
There it is, that vision finally come true.

She would see through your skin and see your plain heart.
She would love you for all the shadows and brightness of which your life was a part.
She would have no qualms about teasing and calling you silly names,
But jump at anyone who would dare play with you any harmful games.

It quietened my heart to see this vision, however, it troubled it too
As I was never sure if, with the same clarity, I could see her look at me as she would you.
It was always uncertain if she would be mine,
But never so that she would be thine.

So, when, after all the trials and tribulations, I did see her in flesh,
The little one, in a peaceful dream, the way I had wished,
I wasn't too surprised to see her as a visitor and not family
And it soothed my nerves to finally see
That if you and I couldn't reach this happy ending
It still gladdens me to see you in a familiar happy beginning.

Now that it is here, that vision finally come true.
Look at where we stand, into what we grew.
You, with lives of your own, each snug in your arms
Enjoying the dancing spectacle, letting it wash over you like a balm.

While I take that vision, turning it into a beautiful memory,
I walk back into my life, what's grown so far away from what you'd seen.
We've lived on and continued to celebrate our lives further more

Cheers to having lived in a shared world and with that I must end your lore.
