poem: "concentric circles"

(photo credit: TomMartinArt)

I can not be as you want me to be
now
as you could not be as I wanted you to be
then.

We have run in concentric circles
all these years
having the same center
but barely touching.

Years and years and years
of being together
but always apart.

Always together at the heart
at the center
but always apart
at the edges
of these concentric circles.

We cheat each other in this dice game
as Shiva cheated Parvati
in his game with her.

One day these concentric circles
will overlap and join
never to be pulled apart
again.

(2008)
