Platonic, Bipolar Friends in Crisis of the Heart

Bitter and sweet runs our inspired affair: 
     two brooding friends, in crisis of the heart,
           suffer turmoil; but like ardent lovebirds, 
we soar the same serene currents of air.
     Whether coming together or apart,
           we shred, then heal, with the raw power of words.

The wax and wane of our ballistic wars,
     the ebb and flow of our constant campaigns,
           we languish from conflict and division.
But passage through life's swift-revolving doors
     transports us where relationship sustains:
           with bill of rights, replete with revision.

Robbed of our missed customary foreplay,
       two minds deprived of thoughtful intercourse,
           we counteract with Platonic romance.
So until the Apocalypse and doomsday,
     our friendship outlasts strife with tour de force,  
           whilst our bipolar swings in the balance.
