Relationships Poem by Kenneth Maswabi
Relationships
Relationships define humanity
Exploring the mound of gems in some people
Extracting the terrible scars in others
Constructing beautiful smiles in some
Defining and refining others
For the benefit of all humanity
Refreshingly enjoyable or nauseating sourness
Full of laughter or drowning in sadness
Tightly bonded or too loose to sustain
A web of convenient attachments
Or a picnic of love
Relationships shape human experience
Portraying life in happiness or sorrow
Carrying lessons in sweetness or bitterness
Making connections in blood or in spirit
Short lived or long lived
Relationships hold the key to divinity

You seem to have a talent for the figurative language. I really like how you 'see' relationships inside of the people...a mountain of gems, terrible scars to be extracted or excised. Nice flow throughout the poem. In the beginning you give us pictures to relate to, in stanza 2 you give us the spectrum highlighting the extremes, and in the end, you give us your impressions. Well done. Thanks!
