Platonic Love

Nurtured over the years This beautiful bond free From the worries of grocery bills Pots and pans, and Fantastic Bleach! An exceptional blessing if you find it Meeting of two minds Sharing and caring unlimited   Free in spirit From the cage of commitment and contract You’ve finally cemented the bond Only to find That all the while you were reading the same book But never on the same page! You were absorbing the chapter on Trust He was stuck on Lust   Should you give up and severe this bond Or try to persuade That one form of love has but a limited cycle The other, longevity much longer Should you instead Seek it only in your next of kin?   ………………………………   Zohra Zoberi
