Relationship Yarns

I’ve noticed that relationships-

Relationships are like balls of yarn,

When you purchase it

It has a definite beginning,

Though the end is not visible,

We have assurance that it is there,

But to see the end of the yarn-

One has to slowly yet steadily

Unwind it

Create something with it

Rather than leave it strewn all over the floor

That will only leave it to tangle

Eventually forgetting about the end while the beginning is still missing

Relationships begin like this

By choice, you buy what yarn you want

You befriend whom you want

You begin knitting as a hobby

One may get tired in the middle

And look for another interest

Fights may take place

But reunification is around the corner

Because it is this hobby that helps you clam down

Words are exchanged with embraces as a cherry on top

A beautiful masterpiece is created

But it may not finish as expected

Turmoil strikes when the yarn is strewn

And trying to unknot it will be tough

For actions speak louder than words

Yet actions require good coordination

Which is impossible when the heart is tired and the mind wary

For that love is lost amongst the waves

Or that love has forgotten

Only sheer determination

Can help get this yarn back in a ball

With the relationship evolving

From friendship to love

From love to lust

Like the perfect crocheted mat

Love blossoms

Like flowers in spring

And the earth in rain

Like him and her

And their lives- surreal.
