Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

Self-less Love
what is mine is yours what is yours is mine i take your diamonds you pay off my debts!
Hi Gautami, Reached here from ryze, where I am no longer active. Liked your creations very much. This ,self-less love, is a little less self-explanatory... does this signify any irony, or am I simply not getting its idea?
This seems to play very interestingly off of the ideal "merging" in marriage between the two parties ("what is mine is yours / what is yours is mine"), while then portraying what is often (sadly) the reality of a marriage of convenience. Nice contrast within the single stanza.
