Parallel Lines, Parallel Lives Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lives
Parallel lines
Move equidistant from each other,
Under all circumstances,
Whether they move straight
Or take a curve,
To the left, or to the right.
Parallel lives are quite like
Parallel lines;
They may not be always
Eqidistant,
But they do not ever meet
In their course of life's jouney!
Touch they not physically ever!
Yet move they on,
On their own tracks,
Within mutual imaginary vision.
Parallel lines and parallel lives
Thus move apart, yet in unison.

@Kumarmani Mahakul, Thanks a lot for reading my poem and leaving a generous appreciation with the highest rating. Much inspired by your comment.
Parallel lines indeed great Working together yet farther apart Night and day not possible with it Just understand my point Both work under common instinct The force unseen yet present Beautiful conception of the idea of parallel lines well painted sir. Thank-you.
@Varsha M, Thanks for reading the poem and sharing your thoughts so poetically. Much obliged.
@Bharati Nayak, Thanks for appreciating the poem. You are quite ight when you say: 'We have in our lives people who may be close and yet distant at the same time.' A deep, profound thought, thanks for sharing.
Beautifully expressed poem of life’s movements. Life seems to contain many layers of parallel worlds within itself. Though we live together, all of us contain a world of our own, moving side by side with the world of others. Time seems to be a uniting factor giving the perception of merging lives at a certain point of time still each life holds a distinct place of its own. Congratulations for a much deserved member poem place.
