You, Me and Him

Perfect relationships

It's

Love in

Perfection.

You, Me And HIM

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

Author's Note

an experimentation with symbolic layout.
The Divine love triangle. Thanks, Utkarsh, for all the help with the final format!

A perfect relationship happens when two mortals who love each other also love God who loves them back. Their love for God is reflected in the way they treat each other with love and respect and likewise, God is blessing the union. In the West, a love triangle connotes negativity - that there is a third person involved in a couple's relationship such that a perfect relationship is ruined because of the third party. I wanted to show that the emphasis of a relationship being between just two mortals will be difficult unless they have God in the relationship in as few words as possible in this work. Ad majorem Dei gloriam is Latin for "All for God's greater glory".

I guess it is limited by those who understand the symbolism and Latin. I just wanted to play with the concept of something visual like the shape of the triangle being part of the poem's context without actually mentioning the love triangle as would be initially inferred in the title (again, done to mislead and therefore, create a twist.) This is a Divine love triangle - union of two mortals blessed by God.

[Rachelle]

Translation?

[Saddam]

bhool ho gai, it is hindi words means I felt bad to understand wrongly. Bhoolna means forgetable.

[Rachelle]

It's lost in cultural and religious context. You're not expected to understand. I put up the explanation in the Author's Note now...

mmmm.. interesting. no need to say more. straight to the point. I didn't get the symbolism of the layout, though. sorry :(

[Rachelle]

the love triangle….. but this is a Divine triangle - two mortals with God in their midst.

[Rachelle]

Ad majorem Dei gloriam - All for the greater glory of God.

I think I got that, Rachelle. I misunderstood the word "layout". I thought you meant the way the lines were dispayed on the page. I kept looking for a cross or something.

[Rachelle]

Meant to be a twist in contrast to a human love triangle….. :D I have befuddled my readers… Oh no!

[Woody]

No I got it alright, from the start. just the word "layout" as I said. probably my mistake.
