Flawed Man
You and me,
Governed by different laws:
You are sunlight and flowers
Your laughter
A skipping stream of consonants
Like water over rocks
But I am night
And a lonely moon against a tower,
Shadows and blue moonbeams
And the lull of quiet hours
The magic of my art
Often runs at cross purposes
With the rhythm of our loving
I need solitude and crickets
Darkness closing its eyelids—
Shadows to loom
And populate a room
With innumerable
Improbable characters
I didn’t choose this;
But Life chose me Instead
To voice its pain
And put into words
The beauty of the mundane
I wish I could tell your beauty
Softly
But it’s my rough hands
That caress your face
I am a flawed man,
Who before you
Was a doubled-up fist,
But now can hold soft things…
Fragile as a butterfly’s wings,
Delicate as night’s face
Tender as its dark eyelids
Fluttering in infinite space.
Los diferentes se atraen, como los polos de los imanes, @johnjgeddes. Somos seres que nos gusta en el otro lo que nos falta, lo que nos complementa. Aunque el ser amado sea el sol, brilla en tu oscuridad.Eres el poeta y ella tu musa, la que te ilumina y de allí puedas sentir que a su lado eres el círculo perfecto. Quién si no, los escritores para perfeccionar la realidad, para volverla bella. Te abrazo
Es muy cierto, Nancy, soy la poeta y ella es mi musa que me ha presentado las cosas suaves :)
I can relate to this. Light and dark need each other.
Thanks, Ginny :)

From my perspective I believe this poem is telling us about how we're so much fun and full of energy and beauty during our youthful days while during the aged days we loath our youthful days full of remembrance of how much fun life was during our youthful days.... What a nice poem... Thanks 👍
Gorgeous write of love and emotional maturity. Lovely:)
