we two

Tall and lean, strong to boot
Full of love for life’s pursuits
Longing for an unbridled Soul
To epitomize his final goal
Perfect peace in beauties bed
Resting thought in his wizened head
Growing plump on pure peace
Losing all sense of disease
Infecting his frame, a termites home
Never noticing that they had come
They say a watched pot never boils
That nothings gained lest one toils
Then how is love fit for man?
Who strives and strives and strives again
To hold to something far to hot
Reaching for a thing that cannot be got
I’ve heard love is a many splendored thing
But isn’t love what you bring
Not a sensation but somewhat more
A remedy of sorts for dis-eases cure
Maybe love is more than we can know
Forced to accept its ebb and flow
Rejecting ones strength, wisdom and state
Face to face challenging fate
Two as one distinct by choice
Doubled in mind, body and voice
Separate for always, together to stay
Experiencing each other anew everyday
How is it we know yet fail to do
Not accepting that separate but equal is true
So we strangle ourselves within the threads
Intricately woven strands of dread
Stifling growth we see as deceit
Entering the cycle we are forced to repeat
Pouring water to stop the burn
What was once basked in now we spurn
All in response to the loss of control
Of two persons minds placed into their souls
