Opposites attract

I came across this photo 'Opposites' by Miss Insomnia Tulip on Flickr. It made me think of recent discussions I've been having with quite a few friends who are trying to make the most of or have made the tough decision to leave long term relationships. A common theme is a feeling of being the complete opposite to their partner or that their partner doesn't really 'get them'.

This poem is about the human desire to find harmony, love and acceptance ...














I look at you, I look at me
You shine in sweet shy modesty
I look for fun and anarchy
Shielding a vast complexity
We share a charming fragility
You are you but I am me
Somewhere there is similarity
Highlighted within our duality
A shared desire, a delicate destiny
I want to be, to just be me
For you to love my individuality
Longing for you to totally get me
For us to share that perfect harmony
A product of heaven’s alchemy
