Affinity / Affinities

natural liking for someone or something
both fulfillment and longing, it does bring

you are captivated and you don’t know why
it doesn’t fit with obvious logic, but you still try

you’re drawn to things that have a certain appeal
or to people because of how they make you feel

a four-legged friend who is eager to please
the solicitous demeanour which puts you at ease

the open countryside and quaint simple folk
the obvious grin and chuckle on your inside joke

at times you are distant, even when with the crowd
though you are really not, sometimes you do seem proud

powerful like the tempest and gentle like the breeze
you navigate places and people with such quasi-ease

you are totally fatalistic and that’s how you choose to see
your multifarious affiliations, they are just meant to be

affinities come and go, but some things stay the same
how you give, what you get and how you play the game

a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause
you continue to tread the usual path, despondent, but without a pause

when? where? how? and why? did all of this have to start
who has put you in this quandary? your mind? or is it your heart?

you want to wish away this frenzy, things should be steady, even slow
but what is the solace that you seek? i think, even you do not know
