Companion

As I grow old,

You challenge me each day.

To delve and introspect,

The layers within.

The ruffled feelings underlying.

Speaking the unspoken.

 

Desire, may not be a priority,

Ecstasy, not a want.

Some souls are pure,

Some relationships are wholesome.

Above the societal norms,

Only affection in their hearts,

Walking hand in hand,

They talk a lot.

Some conversations,

Those spiritual discussions.

Some funny anecdotes,

On those digital walks.

With love and no lust,

Some deep-seated emotions.

How does it matter?

What name the society gives,

If you are the companion I ever want.
