A predictable metaphsic
of a world so platonic...

I love her without having her,
              she has me and doesn't love me,

Platonic is quite moronic
As our nature is hedonic
For every lure
God grants a cure
My mum says its gin and tonic...

The bonding of trust
to a friend without desires
someone to turn to
emotion free yet sincere,
two logical minds at peace

As one with oneness,
I behold God’s light in each,
thus my love is platonic.

I know not concepts,
being uneducated,
so I live and die for you....

Love without words
is said to be silence
 What about love without emotion?
Could it be called platonic?
 Love without  these things
can also be called hate...

All I asked for was a platonic kiss
but Cupid, he wanted much more than this
	He said, "Get in the groove
	Show her your best move!
For if this isn't love, I don't know what is!"...

Can I purchase your heart for lifetime, 
Being platonic isn't a crime, 
Take me to unseen destination! 
Be abusive at romance, 
Give me a clasp,  Cause I feel it is my habitat, 
As you are my Mr.Right....

I might write like a landscape
In any form and shape
If my judge, yet, with fancies
Does reject my masterpiece
I'm not a faded flower
This I know that each lover
Faces platonic effects
And, at the end, resurrects....!

He loved a lady,twice his age
In his heart a passion raged
He added her nam to his-
A young talent sadly cut short
Dying in WW1,as he so bravely fought

Tribute to Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) & his platonic love affair with Sophie Brzeska...

a smile 
chatter that went on for hours 
new friends were made 
in between all the fun 
a little love crept in 
unnoticed
uninvited 
so what do you do? 
pretend it does not exist?
knowing this goes way beyond platonic

Young and platonic
with a certain feeling
purer than mountain's water.

Faces smoother than silk:
a memory of early youth...
an innocence never spoiled.

She is a muse,
just mine...
but she is covet
 by many ...
she shows herself
all fiery, docile,
but only for me
she reveals herself, ...
Our love is astral,
we romance in
naked stars ...
we touch each other
with verses ...
i am poet,
she is...
the moon...!...

I will love you always
In my dreams I may love you
In my dreams we'll be free

No papers will stop us
No religion will break us
in my dreams we'll be free

You and I together
You hold my hands
You hold my heart

We belong to each other
In my dreams
I've been looking at you forever...

I am a paradox.
I am faithful and yet detached.
I am committed and yet so very relaxed.
I love pretty much everyone,
And yet no one.
I am sociable but also a loner.
I am gentle and also very tough.
I am passionate but,
I can also be platonic.
I am predictable in my own unpredictable ways....

She was not mine for long.
Her man lived in a double-wide,
down a dusty Florida road.

With mouth and tongue,
I explored her
the florets,
her aromatic buds.

When we parted
she left me with a cough.

Shortly after, I took up with Jack D.
Strictly platonic
but we do sleep well together....

A painting will never love you back,
like a woman or a child

An opera may cause your heart to sing,
then leave you twice beguiled

Platonic zeal may fill the hours,
a pleasant interlude

But requited love will change your life
—and end your solitude

(Haverford Pennsylvania: September, 2020)...

It is self tormenting
and arguably a case of poetic voyeurism
I do not like muses
I like them closer than that
no definition, just being there
the style, the perfume
and art of a persona
sitting next to me, talking
while I, for a brief span of a second
close my eyes and reopen
in an intellectual daze...

Black cherries
Platonic hearts
Remembering moments from the past
Climbing railings
Watching cars pass
Red, white, green and blue
A picture of a world I once knew.
Loss of breath
Running shoeless
Suffocating smoke filling the air
Angered cries
Too many lives
taken in like a fishing net.
We are only people in the end....
