The Rarest Entity in Devotion

“Friendship how rare” ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Both, straight and knit together, unity
As would be truths, the two are shaped as one,
As clean as marriage, with impunity
Since both are man, like they are doubled sun
Commanding planets in their dual sphere
Of solar system drawn together by
This two-fold strength. No vows are spoken here
Since none are needed. In their single sky
Which they create with atmospheres around
The planets of their thought they move above
Together like devoted twins. They surround
Together with their calmer form of love.
..They, not souls of two in one, spin apart
….And yet quite indivisible at heart.
~ Phillip Whidden
