she & he
Her beauty could stun the blind,
Her warmth could melt the frozen heart,
Her intelligence could humble the wise,
Her love could taunt just any man,
Her unassuming grace. Her unpretentious elegance. Her cool equanimity.
God must be feeling particular generous the day she was created,
For her life is an impeccable art.
His look could thrill every plastic surgeon,
His warmth could keep the ice solid,
His intelligence could thwart the best educator,
His love could terrify just any woman
His stubborn persistence. His unbelivable imbecility. His foolish pugnacity.
God must be feeling particular prankish the day he was made,
For his life is an unmistakable joke.

What if one day you found that your life is a mirrow of that of the girl in the poem? a masterfully executed art? Would you thank God for that? or would you hate the perfectness of your life?
What if one day you found out that your life is an exact replica of that of the man in the poem? An unmistakable joke. Would you want to finish the joke? or would you wish to undo the prank?
