In love, man or woman
___________________________________
To the twosome that falls in love, who and why and when hardly matters. But those of us watching from the sidelines, it may--who falls in love first, who devotes more time to love, how often, contentment, depth of love, and what not. So here goes.
_____________________________
Who devotes more time for love?
A woman’s lost in thoughts of him--
Her waking time and that in dream,
She scores fifty-four, he, forty-four,
Her love stems from deeper core.
Who falls in love first, how soon?
Man takes a month after first meet,
Woman takes twice longer to it.
Man decides in hurry
And that’s the real worry.
Who acknowledges love first?
Hear too the same story repeats,
Man in hurry always her beats.
She takes time to confirm love
And never once makes first move.
Falling in love, how often?
Men seem to love more than once
And in love here and there runs,
She that loves one alone
Never is too far gone.
Content in love, who scores?
Here too he hurries, gets fulfilled first,
A balloon, he soon gets burst
And never content still
Whilst she can truly chill.
Who dives deep in love?
It’s she that feels love far ahead
From heart. Man, no farther than head,
On attachment also scores she,
He, no more than possessive be.
