Fire!

 …the heart leaps

A kindred spirit is close.

Different personalities but same core

Same backbone, different gloss.

 

Beyond the surface

Beyond dollars and bread

Beyond fronting and coding

Beyond wig and selfies.

 

Authentic, vulnerable and safe

Errors rebuked but covered.

Intense, consistent and deliberate

Tender.

 

Zero performance required

Just honesty and willingness to grow

Broken but beautiful

Broken and beautiful

Still in tears

I knew it wasn’t right. Personal values, societal values and all the works, I didn’t let us grow. We kept it platonic (difficultly so). Our hearts wanted more. Our heads knew better. Only space and time can heal us. I’m utmostly grateful for your THERENESS, Your openness, your romance, your consistency and your maturity. I did it for your clan, for my man for myself & for you. When we meet in future, because  I'm sure we will, We’ll catch up on our phases.  I will miss you sorely.  Still in tears.

You make me wanna write a poem

I'm sure thoughts of you have crossed my mind a gazillion times in the last 6 days I wonder why! When i met you i began to have a secret crush on you ( i wish i knew how successful i was at the 'secret' bit) then you fell in love. I managed myself & depreciated my crush back to platonic levels. We have done well as platonics and i have always imagined it to remain at that level. All of a sudden thoughts of you begin to flood my mind It scarces me I'm forced to put my thoughts on paper Logically, I dont want anything exceeding platonic levels because going by head sense, you dont strike me as my soul mate Yet, the thoughts keep coming, i dont know what to do with them. I wonder if thoughts of' 'us' have ever crossed your mind. Trust me, i wouldn't sacrifice our friendship for these temporal feelings of mine Hopefully, my soulmate will show up before any 'damage' is done. 'Jan '09
