Writer's Cramp entry - Boy meets girl, boy keeps girl |
Venus and Mars - A Love Story It's said, when love is true, the stars align And so it was when they first met A harmonic convergence of souls Fated to find each other She was Love embodied Flowers, animals, broken things She approached them all With kindness and care She was bruised and battered By hard-edged people and crushing circumstance But love and hope still flourished As seedlings from her tender soul He was an idealistic seeker Who'd fought a less-than-ideal world To keep his dreams, his deepest self From starving in aloneness She was water to a parched and dying man And he was shelter from raging storms Venus and Mars, in the love of a lifetime Magical, mystical, and mysterious And troubles came, as troubles do Sometimes, she wants him soft and open Sometimes, he needs her fierce and strong Sometimes they are, and sometimes not At times in the struggle of two against the world They fight one another And some say time will take its toll Sundering souls struggling to stay in sync But Venus and Mars are alright tonight They fight for one another, too Their hearts return in the endless cycle To the love that made them one. |
