11). It's Only Metaphysical

modern poetry

It's only metaphysical,
That bond between an eternity,
A sixth dimension reality.
Have you asked about this?
Did you find this out there?
                                                                               
Because, in the metaphysical;
The spiritual
Has a separate plane;
One of those realities by which people go into the world.

Fall in love with someone and join in.
Have a close and continuing relationship outside of the dialogue completely;
Instead of alone in the world, or questing,
Or compromised out;
That magic word for relating to another.

You deflect it.
Take another part.
We came to love each other more deeply.
Late in our relationship, we didn't connect spiritually;
People carry that with them,
And spend their years finding or not finding that.
