There is nothing in this that makes polyamory in any way appealing.

I contextualize it with other poems in the prophet, like On Marriage: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow. I don't think he intentionally wrote about poly, but had recurring themes about unpossessive love.

Love itself is never possessive. Possessiveness is insecurity manifested.
