Overwhelming Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Overwhelming



Two, sharing overwhelming need to care, to give, to receive,
Hold sentiments words can't express, if uttered few'd believe
As fair exchange, change splurge to merge, protective bars fall fast,
Voice echoes voice, rejoice shared choice knows flow sows glow to last.
Electric thrill, heat - chill, here fills both body, soul, to weave
A waterfall whose rainbow arch spans time, must not deceive;
No safety-net is needed for fears fade as fades dark past
Once threatening to two who'd wing through shadows overcast.
Vain fears, tears, disappear, joy nears as two twinned hearts conceive
Excitement new which through and through can run, need never grieve.
Raw, uncooked feelings flow, both know - prepare for shared repast,
With freedom found, with chains unbound, perceive horizons vast.
Here two as one, from friendship's sun advance, glances naive,
Enchanted turn, burn flame, scarce tame, send sparks, rend veils, achieve.
Life's aim: love's flame, no need for fame which falls like winter leaves,
Melodious becomes that US from shared love drawn. Outcast,
Idyll astray would in one day wilt, hope spilt, roles miscasth
No coloured dot forget-me-not could greyness dull relieve,
Grant ease of heart if two apart were torn beyond reprieve.
New space awaits where anger, hate, are unknown, joys outlast
Ends and beginnings as Life sings it can't become downcast.
Each shares rare care both full and fair where one to one will cleave,
Dreams coincide as side by side two spirits interweave.

That trust could rust, would turn to dust, should never be conceived,
One whole, two parts that yin/yang chart can never be disdained,
Should one elsewhere turn, spurn skies fair, replace love shared with less,
Heartbroken would the other urn as travesty none bless,
As dire betrayal, pyre consuming confidence, as pained
Regrets and hurt, responses curt, or silent signals strained,
Echo unheard, close ties deterred, open suspicions guessed.
