Opposites attract they say

The chalk and cheese; the night and day

Place them together, and sparks may fly

As eyes they lock and souls they sigh

Over that instant click of profound connection

Which will grow into deep mutual affection.

 

They consider each other, prodding, sizing

And almost in surprise, begin realizing

That shared perspectives and common dreams

Will quickly become a recurring theme.

 

For on the surface they appear diametrically opposed

Yet deep within they are harmoniously composed

Fuelled by differing emotions and ideas

Still sharing the same cluster of hopes and fears.

 

Like iron on magnet they become hard to separate

And their contrasting personas only exacerbate

The mounting awareness that they belong together

And wish to lock horns in an eternal forever

Although the outside world may yet jeer and scorn

Their souls have collided, true love has been born.
