Opposites Attract

Opposites Attract

A Poem by Devons


Lust is Man's built-in addiction
  Love is Woman's

Love is Man's failsafe trap
  Lust is Woman's

Marriage is Man's unreasonable pledge
  Trust is Woman's

Trust is Man's natural ignorance
  Marriage is Woman's

Fidelity is Man's cool indifference
  Faith is Woman's

Faith is Man's lack of knowledge
  Fidelity is Woman's

Anger is Man's impulsive resort
  Crying is Woman's

Crying is Man's final debasement
  Anger is Woman's

Regret is Man's ultimate pain
  Divorce is Woman's

Divorce is Man's reliable commitment
  Regret is Woman's

Sex is Man's transient pleasure
  Romance is Woman's

Romance is Man's fool's gold
  Sex is Woman's

Nature is Man's inconsistency
  Silence is Woman's

Silence is Man's neglected soul
  Nature is Woman's

Reproduction is Man's guileless pride
  Eternity is Woman's

Eternity is Man's short-sightedness
  Reproduction is Woman's

Death is Man's futile existence
  And so is Woman's.

Wow, I really like this one! It must have taken time to think of each individual aspect. As you read it you stop and think after each virtue is brought out, nod your head, and agree. It all comes together. Men and woman are complete opposites, except in our humanity as the last line brought out. I really liked this. Nice work.

you have explained it so simply and beautifully the realities we face on the definitions of love based on gender...opposites do attract - perhaps to find balance and reality - thank u for this reality.

After my many long travels and insights into the world...delving deep into the thoughts of people, i realize that you summed everything of truth up into this flowing poem of greatness. It makes me reflect on past memories, and future decisions. Thank you for giving us all a chance to read this..and use it in this little thing we call life. :D Bravo!! x)

Wow!

This has very good structure, and is incredibly powerful.

It's very insightful, and you have obvious intelligence to note so many differences.
