FREEDOM
Their freedom to choose
keeps them together for love
exchange discourse for lunghi
body for liberation
yoga and meditation
in leisure try to find out
who is available for
a fling or contrive meeting
or turn legs to jellied state
or sip tea under the trees
a hypocrisy
of awakening in group
they jump and lie on each other
in the name of sadhana
teeter on the edge of ruin
keeps them together for love

teeter on the edge of ruin

Romantic and liberating in style and conclusion. I liked the format very much as well, your open stanzas are apropos to the form.
