The Sexes

Certainty, logic, reason supreme,

I am a man, discouraged to dream.

In realness I thrive,

wired to survive.

Beauty, emotion, and kindness are power.

I am a woman, a delicate flower.

With feeling I rule,

my heart the main tool.

Two sides to one,

the difference's sum.

When put together,

souls light as a feather.

Yet so incompatible:

the fiction, the actual.

Head in the clouds and feet on the ground.

Headless your trapped, and feetless your bound.

The genders entwined in unending dance.

Will she sway to him? Will he fall to her trance?

Can't be apart and can't be together,

leaving only a storm of indeterminate weather.
