The Heart Relationship (A Poem)

As we reflect on life, there is only one thing that we need
But if you try to dig for it, you won’t find it in a seed
It’s a knowing wanting-ness, that we want to pocket
Yet is something that is not written on a simple docket

What is this thing that we are are trying to seek?
A hint, it takes little work to maintain week to week
Is this thing created and given to us?
For this I say no, for it exists in time to be felt without a fuss

This thing that I am writing about is something between people
Destroyed by definition like the ending point of a steeple
Too many rules of nature and constraints ruin it
Continuous talk about status eliminates the perfect fit

What I am talking about goes beyond perfection
It is the worthy headline between people, the connection
This bond of eternity is actually an easy task
Yet we make it difficult, and we must remove our mask

In relationships, the goal is meeting an individual need
An inquisitive look to find an ending lead
Yet the need and lead don’t intersect for a reason
For the mind supersedes the heart creating treason

An eternal law gets broken, when in the bond exists in pain
But when you want to move away from hurt, you simply abstain
This belief gets rooted in a created illusion
The mind drawing attention toward a lonely collusion

As such the heart loses it’s purpose and vitality
Moving away from providing light to reality
To some they say this is the voice of the gut
But listen to it closely, and you will get out of a rut

When the mind believes in individual fulfillment
The heart is unable to sustain commitment
The mind is too ego-centric to give to the other soul
And the heart withers in meeting it’s goal

This is why relationship definition is a messing of mind
Finding perfection to an end when none exists in the find
Does it really matter where your relationship is going?
Can’t it stand still, or must it be always be moving?

In the end, no one really cares what your relationship is
For too much definition can make it fizz
Why not take another approach, and just let it be
Blind your eyes for a second and you will see

The heart is the channel for serving and giving
For in this very act, the light is realized in receiving
For this to occur the mind must be defeated
With the heart in front, and the mind retreated

If your relationship is of the heart, it will always win
For there is no objective, and nothing to pin
A relationship created in ecstasy, timeless, whenever
A universal bond moving with you forever
