Yin & Yang ( a Love Letter )

she's absolut
i'm hennessy
i'm rush hour traffic in L.A.
she's a small town in Tennessee
she's left handed
i think i'm always right
i love the way she will compromise
i never give in without a fight

hard/soft

she's satin sheets
i'm the body wrapped within
together were complete
without her i feel without a friend

i'm lust
she's desire
she's my redemption
my salvation from the fire
and while were not exactly opposites
she compliments me beautifully
picking me up when i fall
and standing by me dutifully

Love this! Like e.e.cummings your poetic use of small letters capitalizes the strength and intent of the words. Thanks

There is much truth in "opposites attract," Brian. People with whom you share nearly everything in common can be good friends. For me, I sense more chemistry with someone who is uniquely true to themselves, even if I disagree with their views. Sparks some great debate! Love the message in this poem, Brian!
