Made In Paradise

Some relationships dissipate without a trace.
Although once meaningful
recollections self-erase.
Some relationships serve a temporary need.
Although rather transient
they implant a powerful seed.
Some relationships endure an entire life.
Although they're together
there's conflict, distrust and strife.
Some relationships succumb to tribulation.
Although each wants to stay
there's no conciliation.
Some relationships have exciting chemistry.
Although filled with passion
they're lacking intimacy.
Some relationships have been made in paradise.
Although years take a toll
their commitment does suffice.
