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.

This is absolutely gorgeous...I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this one. I enjoy everything you write of course, but this is a change of pace for you. My unremarkable suits and I take a measure of hope from this one haha Incredible imagery though, so detailed, the curve-hugging silk, the unmatched bookends, and the list goes on. Love this one.

I am sure you look dapper in any suit unremarkable or otherwise. Thanks so much for your review.

"they swayed

each note"

- great line here ice. an unlikely pairing but great together nonetheless. You never know who'll you'll meet, when you'll meet, and what will happen..I like the contrast in the characters. There must have been something extraordinary in this guy and something ordinary in this girl. :)

[icelandicblue]

Thank you so much, we all have a mixture of many opposing things in our makeups. I appreciate your time.

Wow, wow, wow, Anne this is fandabbydoo! I love the metaphors in this one. Love can hit us at any time, Anne, it can be unexpected and it can totally shock us right to the core.

Amazing

[icelandicblue]

Thanks so much noodle. I am so happy that you liked this one.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

I love this poem especially your metaphors. Sometimes love comes in an undesirable time and place. Sometimes it's unexpected that two hearts meet and fall for each other.

Very remarkable piece, Ice. Keep it up!

[icelandicblue]

Thank you so much for your kind words Daisie.

But that is how it is - no matter the physical trappings, souls meant for each other are meant for each other….

[icelandicblue]

So very true Rachelle loves lies within the soul.
