"Man and Woman in Worlds Apart" is a sort of poem, but more of a commentary in poem form. There are so many couples who do not understand the causes of their struggles with each other, that this may be a way to give them help. It is a tough message to get once the mistake has been made, but it is possible to return to their natures' designs. Here it is--
Their joyous desire may not be denied
When man and woman meet husband and wife.
But disparate intents deprecate it so
When sense with confusion puts joy aside.
Both are entangled in destiny's traps
Arms 'round each other, their minds apart.
The vine entangles in circuitous flow
Its tension restricts what both may know.
In rising dilemma their natures decry
Stop now or in patience we still may try.
A giant awakened they do not yet know
Forsakes in eternity their solitary life.
When one and one should be making one
Persistence makes two before it is three.
When a merger to one collapses desire
Edges contiguous should contain the fire.
A woman's desire is found in her love
He may not waiver in the truth given her.
She teaches him love, her duty to him
A man must assure that her being was won.
Natures are different in worlds apart
Male and female perceptions not only one.
Goose bumps...that's what these words have given me, and a better understanding of what is to be.
