I Must Feel The Harmonic

We may've different directions
and need not another's corrections
yet I wonder what we may lack
if our dynamic tension goes slack.

Perhaps this isn't as rare for you
or what I learned you already knew.
Either way our link I ponder
because of no one any fonder
have I felt for a very long time.

So despite my missives do rhyme,
herein as elsewhere deep meaning
in my thoughts I'm always leaning
to find and create a real bond
going beyond mere "la ronde".
Are we ourselves in a fooling,
like class in some karmic schooling?
Or do we each other in our deeds
fulfill deeper mutual needs?

But your moods shifts with me
have not left my thinking free
for questions must still exist.
Somehow faith has been missed.
Probably some past deep hurt
allows you with me to be so curt
you'd tell me another lover did
moments before you left a skid
to move on in your stressed life.

I guess you'll not likely be wife
to such as me who seek focus...
spouses're each other's locus.
If they understand the bad odds
every issue needs more'n nods.

No matter condition nor state,
understanding of one's mate
deserves every special attention.
Of course it'd not get mention
if we hadn't gone that direction.

For you I've found an affection
so strong I cannot it survive
if I must deal with any jive
because it makes me real weak.

Perhaps I always seek the peak
of acknowledging the connection,
and from the duet's other section
must hear or feel the harmonic.
Even just a deep look's a tonic.
Never backward, creating future
is all that gives heart a suture
healing our social spirit abyss.

So something(s) seem amiss.
And I know I need everything.
Of no less can my heart sing.

This is not goodbye but farewell
until of a greater need you tell.
