October 5: Gordian

How can I put
into words with structure
the magnificent complexity
that exists between us?

Not just a passion,
although our passions rage,
inferno-esque, sometimes dangerously,
in both our hearts.

Not just shared experiences,
though triumphs and tragedies
we have seen
in plenty, while together.

It isn't merely love,
like some grand romance,
because life's exigencies
have taken their toll.

Simply put, we are
the one thing that
both of us
would fight to preserve.

A man, a woman
and our two children,
we are family,
facing all the world.
