As One

Thoughts

Dwell with me in togetherness
but not cloistered in each other's space

Bond with me in love
but without tying each other up in ropes and strings

Stand with me in oneness but without usurping each other's shadows

Think and care for me but let me not become your obsession

Be my co-traveller on this path but without losing sight of our individual destinations


Let us be as the strings of the harp and lyre that lie parallel yet make the most beautiful music together

What a wonderful gift pure, genuine love is when control is not involved! I love this poem because it demonstrates very poetically that two people can be totally in love without tying each other up in knots. They can walk the road of life together every day and love each other only, every step of the way, reaching their destination at the end of the journey and capturing wondrous memories along the way. Superb penning, Jaffer. I enjoyed your poem very much. Thank you for sharing...

those who are strong on their own and happy with themselves can pair up and share life...
never doubting, never controlling...letting each other be free to share the love.
nicely done, Jaffer,

Marvelously written, honestly spoken.
A philosophical poem.

All things thrive in freedom! Love should give you wings to fly. It should never tie them down.

This poem is in reverence to a love unbounded.

This is a lovely and thought-provoking poem that really captures the essence of healthy and balanced relationships. I love the way that the you used vivid imagery and rich language to explore the complex dynamics of love and connection, and the way that the poem builds to a climax of emotional intensity is truly breathtaking. The final lines, "Let us be as the strings of the harp and lyre that lie parallel yet make the most beautiful music together," are a powerful expression of the transformative power of love to bring people together and create something beautiful and harmonious, even in the face of differences and challenges. Overall, I think this is a wonderful piece of writing that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to find balance and harmony in their relationships.
