The Mismatched Beauty of Synchronicity

He was an ordinary man
dressed in an unremarkable suit,
she was an extraordinary woman
dressed in shiny silk that hugged
each dangerous curve
in a waterfall of quicksilver.

A disparate pairing to the uninitiated
until the music began and they swayed
in a rhythm so personal it rewrote
each note into the smoothest of symphonies
surrounding them in a spellbinding aura.

Unmatched bookends in a world
of symmetrical pairings, so deceiving, so intriguing.
And in their private moments their synchronicity
retired to crisp sheets and gossamer musings
of romantic artistry that sang to the power of one.

this is so breathtakingly romantic...how opposites attract....and how others view couples often enough...with "what is she doing with him?" or vice'-versa...

surprise surprise, they dance together so well, they are one.

this poem is "romantic artistry" at its best..

if i did favorites, this would top the list.

Again, flawless! Breathtaking in fact - the union understood and shows the diversity of attraction on more than the surface...you really do write wonderfully hon x

IcelandicBlue...this is beautiful. I love the metaphor of the dancers from disparate worlds. Exquisite!

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.

This smug drab man has nothing to prove by way of himself cause his flashy red convertible sports car of a wife makes up for everything. This is:

An intriguing colorful free verse poem
that shows how two living in a drab home
under the stars and the light of the moon
join contrasting notes that play a sweet tune.

That is so lovely Aethereal. Love your comment too. We live in a society that puts so much emphasis on physical beauty it forgets about all the beautiful attributes that make us human and appealing. We are much deeper than the smoothness of our flesh.

You're welcome! The Amish Dutch are drab too, till they get home and lock the bedroom door.

Thank you Einstein beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and society sees one thing but very often we see another.

Thanks Julie for your comment. I appreciate it and you are one who knows how to bring romanticism into your work!

[SquinklaPsyOps]

The poem could be about an observation of human compatibility which could motivate hope in trying to find who we choose to spend our lives'

[icelandicblue]

Thanks so much for such a kind comment.

Oh my...this is a splendid piece Anne. The flow and imagery is perfection. And yes sometimes mismatched pairings are the best. Opposites do attract...thier differences complimenting and balancing the relationship. Love this romantic musing...;-)

Thanks so much red. If we were all mere puzzle pieces looking for the right fit it would make for a boring world.
