Platonic Relationships

 

What is a "platonic relationship" really?
Is it a coverup or an impossibility?
Or do you think it is just a mental rejection
Of any chance of a more lethal attraction
After a subconscious survey of what is on offer
Knowing we haven't really found what we're hankering after
Or just a comfortable ground where passions don't rage
Forming lasting bonds that grow stronger with age
So tell me, can a man and a woman connect
On a "platonic" level, with no side effects?

Swati

A “platonic relationship”…mmm something to ponder,

For years this matter has left many to wonder;

Is it possible?  I would say, yes, perhaps

As long as emotions were kept under wraps.

It isn’t always passion to which we’re inclined,

It’s nice to be appreciated for the mind.

The secret, of course, is to be aware

The cross-over line will always be there.

Ah, that’s the rub!  A tricky one, too,

Can it be avoided?  I leave that to you!

~Twilah~

Platonic? sure two can be
when the passions dwindle
the fire dies out
all that is left is platonic
not by destiny but by choice
when the matches miss
to synchronize
the mental pic to the physical
form in front of one then
all that is left is platonic!

~Shobhna Ravi~

Platonic relations can surely exist,

and drift us together till emotions subsist

Passion, though is an ambiguous word,

and it may leave our vision blurred

It is indeed a cogent emotion

and can be found, in every nook and corner

Life, without it would be,

but won't it add some more glee?

Isn't it like salt and pepper

for it makes a butterfly flutter

For some, it's topping on dessert,

its absence may be sumptuous too,

but won't it bestow added pleasure?

The bond you share will grow stronger,

So, let this tempest, storm you over

Cacoethes, you are welcome!, says he and she

Tell me do you disagree?

 Rakhi


I don't  think platonic relationships survive
As I think that when 2 people luv each other
They have a passion for each other
which lives for long
It's not just passion but also
Happiness
It's not just happiness but also luv
It's all a mixture of all the feelings
When luv blends with passion with trust with eagerness
And all the insecurities leave
And a sense of belongingness comes.
But a platonic relationship is incomplete without all these feelings.

~Ginny~

Platonic relationships do exist

 Till advances are hard to resist

You slip into a meaningless knot

 Of lust with unbridled passion wrought

Finally the excitement will subside

At the end of the roller coaster ride

You feel a nothingness in the end

And in the bargain you lose a friend

Platonic may not be a fashionable trend

But its a friendship on which you can depend .

~ Sitar ~

 

Platonic relationships do exist

Till loves advances you resist

But sometimes that becomes hard to do

And love does come crawling through

The relationship changes, so do you

When in come words such as ‘I Love You’

Now the ball is in your court, it’s your call

Whether you wish to continue as ‘Platonic Friends’ or change it all

Life is short, take a chance

The music is playing, take this dance

Love is a gamble, play your game

Maybe at the end of it you’ll have a different surname!!!

 

~ Mayuri Sharma ~

 

 

Unless the spark is there to ignite,

It's friends we're to forever be;

Oftentimes the end of a love affair

In time will resurface platonically.

 

Then there's the one-sided story,

He loves her, she's completely unaware...

In her eyes he's just a good "friend,"

In his, there's none to ever compare.

 

Platonic relationships will always exist,

Deep friendships are formed that way,

Some just may evolve into lasting love,

While others remain to the dying day.

 

~  Twilah ~

It is just like river banks;two of them.

THEY RUN PARALLEL:

FOR EVER.

But they go through all the rough and tumble

TOGETHER EQUALLY.

THEY WITNESS ,SUFFER AND REJOICE

all the pain and sorrows and happiness.

they run together thety are very tired

THEN THEY CALM DOWN AND

DECIDE TO GROW UP AND BE IN PEACE FOREVER.

We share everything,

Rather I do with you

I love you so very much

But in me a friend you see…

 

You revel in our friendships

Pray for it, in this avtar

And the next….is this

A platonic interaction?

 

I promised to be a friend

For that is what you want

So I dare dream not of passion

To keep my word…is this platonic?

 

Your casual touch has me ablaze

With you I find peace that sustains

We share not only ourselves

But our world as well…is this platonic?

 

I have no clue what the word means

For when I love, done so passionately

When the minds mate, how can the rest be far

Platonic with you, is completeness waiting to flower…
