i

parallels in paths
worn smooth by duty,
to meet on the edge
of life's cliff
our destiny

ii

there is one
who holds this heart,
in the palm of his hands
he juggles more than words

iii

oh for the nights,
a symphony of bones
and skin entwined as one
where there is no start or end

I'd have 'of life's cliff' as one entire line joined to the preceding line. Our destiny could stand alone.
I'd get rid of 'only' in the next vignette. Some strong emotions in this.
