my weakness versus your strength
your fire versus say my desire
the mutual interest of the moment
versus the apathy of the time
our explosive reaction to each other
seems to so beautifully intertwine
you often revel in
that of which I rather choose to rebel
your lips and your mind
are sassy sires to the highly covetous
sexual sell
my generous give compliments your ravenous
take
where as
what I have come to revere
you only care to forsake
we are two highly developed but contrary
puzzle pieces unknowingly cut
somewhere along the way
so to better flow together
a miraculous misery once lived
has now become a brilliantly satisfying
collaboration
flourishing on a level
that few others could ever dream of achieving
we have alas arrived
at that gloriously golden plateau
where far too few true friends ever get the
expressed joy of reaching
and we've done it together
the essence of you has caressed my soul as
no other
come now
join me in this pinnacle moment of Zen
and let us even further grow
towards who knows where
until who knows when
'By The Gage Of Comparison'
the future for us shall decide............
