Facets of a Gem

Facets of a gem
sharp and reflective.
Each side unique,
a face all its own,
none able to survive
without the other.
Each a part of the whole.

Traits following the
same pattern.
Each aspect of ourselves
distinctive of, yet dependent
upon the others.
Each a part of the whole.

Always in balance,
one never overpowering
the others.
As one element tugs
the other yields.
When one surrenders
the other reasserts
Each a part of the whole.

Flashes
Sparkles
Reflects
Refracts
Each a part of the whole.

Love
Desire
Sensuality
Passion
Each a part of the whole.

Eliciting love and desire,
drawn from an inner
sensuality and passion.
Igniting a fire of commitment
that drives a yearning
for balance.
Each a part of the whole.

Incredibly
(if not miraculously)
facets align;
completing an almost imperceptible flaw.
Two bodies joining
to make a
brighter and iridescent shimmer.
The reflection of one
enhancing the shine of the other.
A matched pair created
by the divine,
wed in the requirement
to complete each other.
Each a part of the whole.
