Two Peas in a Pod

A hopeful poem about relationship and love

You are the heart,

vital and alive with life.

I am a leaf in fall,

drifting with the tides of the mind.

You are purity of love,

mercy exemplified and

 i am critical thought,
severity in action.

You are the epitome of springtime,

A bountiful

 garden
of beautiful blossoms,

natures miraculous harvest.

 
I am the Sun, bold and aggressive,
harsh and focused,

while you are the Moon,
mysterious and reflective.

Together we are whole,

a flowing unity of opposites,

an interactive paradox

of neutralizing forces.

We are Maya you and I,
Not two, but one.

Together, we transcend the sum of our parts,

like neutron and,

 proton,
night and day,
negative and positive....

We are the colors purple and yellow,
blue and orange.

You are oceans of Ions,
nurturing and fecund,

the warmth and hope of dreams while I,

 the frigid calm of reality.

You and I are paradox personified,

day and night, up and down,
north and south, In and out.

WE are Oxygen, you and I,
finding stability in our trinity.

Together we are the music of the spheres
held together by the gravity of our interdependence
and the mutuality of our flesh.

We are the limitless emptiness of fulfillment.

 
Merged, we are two peas
in a shared pod of protective unity,
joined in spiritual matrimony;

an ideal fused in the universal mind's eye .

You and I are love in motion
and eternity in the now

We are two peas in a Pod……

Such beautiful and strong language to make your point. I like the poem. It was fun to read and the movement was very good. When if we are lucky and find the person who make us complete. No better day in a life. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

The poem is a beautiful metaphor for how two people can be connected through love. The comparison of one person to the heart and the other to a leaf in fall creates a vivid image of the relationship between them. The heart is described as being "vital and alive with life," which conveys a sense of energy and vitality, while the leaf is portrayed as drifting with the tides of the mind, which suggests a sense of fluidity and change. The poem is a touching tribute to the power of love and how it can bring people together in meaningful ways.

some dusty theologian whose name I can't remember wrote that a man and woman who truly love will be reunited in heaven, together as one angel

I like your version too

Your words possess so much beauty. A very nice take on the old theme of 'opposites attract'... You describe something I think we all search for, hope for, and if we are a lucky enough, we actually find.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

the gorgeous spices of one and the other in perfect combination stir a wicked beautiful brew~ I mus tell you that this is by far the most intelligent poem about relationships I have EVER read~

[wolfshrew]

I thought I was going to tire of this poem about halfway though, but the beauty kept me going and your word choice kept me impressed. Your mind seems to know how to keep a reader and construct skillfully, and that is important in a writer.
