Like Oil and Water

Like Oil and Water

A Poem by Lena
"

Have you ever met the wrong person who had the right touch?

"

Ego and Pride, that’s the wave that you ride

Truth and honor, that the path that I follow

A picture of lasting bliss we two do not depict

Because like oil and water, we two just don’t mix

 

Yet, when thrown together in shaky weather`

We reach for each other as though we know no better

When our foundation is moved and our emotions stir

We explode passionately and our primal needs concur

 

But, when once again our worlds settle down

When intense emotions are spent

Then starts the process to unravel what we shared between and betwixt

Because like oil and water, our brand of love just don’t mix

 

I look for someone whose word is his bond,

Whose sense of right and wrong is consistent and strong

I look for someone whose love is trustworthy,

who with dedication and devotion will always respect me

 

You look for one whose outer appearance displays the latest flare,

Whose desire for objects of prestige is expressed with much fanfare

Your taste runs to the demonstrative who exhibits with great drama

And for your continued attention they are willing to display with unsavory karma

 

Yet, a little of all these traits we must both possess

Because when our worlds tilt, we come together in sensual bliss

Then when the storm passes and our worlds right themselves

And once again our emotions are temporarily shelved,

We bring to a closure our repertoire of love making tricks

Because like oil and water, we two don’t mix

Once again, great writing. Keeps the reader engaged and brings up those emotions and contemplations in our own past. Well done!

Girl, I know what you mean! Cheers to moving forward😉
I really like the premise of a relationship that won't work unless it's very stormy, oil and water is a great metaphor.
