Sharing

we have shared many things love is ultimately what I believe passes most between us but we also have shared moments of anger, dislike and mistrust times of joy, passion and admiration long nights and days of both clarity, toxicity and everything in between we have disclosed intense fears, desires, hopes and even our whims and daydreams we have matched intellect and humor even vanity and conceit we have exposed shame and success pride and humiliation cultivated talent and offered criticism and have imparted both promises and disappointments our tender kisses have been intermingled with vicious blows, both intermittent we have in common our darkest secrets we have only told each other we have given each other solace and pain and although we have both shed tears our share of laughter has always been more abundant we share a home, a bed, a life which has taken many forms in the years we have been together and we now create our family each day with the child we share this is far greater than any of these other things and I now share with you my deepest gratitude for all we have in equal measure

Nice!! I love the use of white space and how you held me captive right to the end...and what a finish :) "and I now share with you my deepest gratitude for all we have in equal measure" Beautiful and heartfelt!

Dear Shayana, This is a lovely poem. What I like most is its purity. It also reflects your courage. You have said everything boldly. Thanks for your gracious comments on my poem Donot knock that has won the semi finals. -Mohammad
