Untethered

A recent discussion brought this on.

He ask of her but simple questions

Wanting to know of her

What makes her tick?

What brings her joy?

What moves her heart to smile?

Seeing her passions waning

He turns to as her his simple questions

Her favorite color?

Her favorite flower?

Her favorite way to be woke up with the morning light?

As she ponders these new questions unasked before

She asks in turn why he is untethered

Why no anchor to another's heart?

Why his soul is not mixing with another's?

Why is he is untied and not knotted for all time?

Yet with all his years the answer it does elude him

Thought of others really not thick on his mind

Wanting to repair the frayed edges of his chord

Wanting to untie knots still left from his past

Wanting to repair the damage he had sustained

And yet she was the only to ask and show curiosity

To why his damaged soul was not tethered

He desired heart and kindness

He desired empathy and compassion

He desired inner beauty and a laughing heart

All the while seeing it in but one other

Setting his standard higher that he ever had

As one would be able to meet these conditions

As one would not ask of him but give so freely

As one would make all other pale in comparison

So he remains untethered to another so deeply

At least in the eye of the masses so cold

For one makes his heart beat differently

For one can put smile upon his melancholy face

For one has disarmed the defenses he has held so dear

For she is free yet damaged like he is

Yet stronger than him in many ways

For he is more sidekick than hero

For he is more concerned with her condition

For he is willing to put her wants above his own

Untethered yet feeling the kindred nature between

For she too is the only to ask or show true concern for him

A friend that with rarity that is beyond transcendence

A friend that actually knows and likes the true him

A friend that he never wants to lose a tether to

This out right puts things...
into perspective...as I read the lines...
the first 3 stanzas set the pace...
and the way this envelops...
you really put forth a lot in the verse...
gives much to the understanding...
I thoroughly like the way this catches you...
and the ending adds the caption...
like your first 3 stanzas...
you last 3 lines seal the moment...
