THE RELATIONSHIP EQUATION

Is it both sides absolute perfection?

That sustains a loving relation,

But they get caught up with infections,

 Different roads with no intersection.

Is it both sides combined flaws?

For a break, should they be the causes?

Arranged flawlessly to cling together,

In fair or in the rough weather.

Two personalities are like chemicals,

One is diabolical & other is whimsical,

Mixing and mingling to spark reaction, 

Ending up in transformation or separation.

There are laws of attraction,

Both may melt in moment’s passion,

Love is indeed a desperate addiction,

Lifelong affection or eternal affliction.

He is wrong for her in the right way,

She is suspicious of whatever he says,

Quarrels to rob them comforts of the day,

How long together will they stay?

The switch that ignites passion,

Can get shocks and tremors in a relation,

They may soar to touch peaks,

Soon to tumble down to the valley of bleak.

Relations  come with strings attached,

From it, expectations can’t be detached,

Making fiercely emotional connections,

Cementing with care all the dislocations.

Intimacy is connection at deep level,

Barriers to honesty to invite gloom to prevail,

Preserve sanctity to enhance intimacy,

It is closest thing to heaven and its ecstasy.
