...a well-ballanced poem all the way around. :0) --Charlie

"the S curve
dividing light and dark halves
of the mandala:
the universe,
cyclic phases of the moon,"

I love these lines, in particular, Gene. The feel of this whole poem resonates deeply; I love it.

...excellent write...the dark and light...in that one cannot exist without the other...your title speaks of what is destined.

Oh, that's one lucky lady, her with all that yin! :)

Balance....

even in love we look for those qualities that mark the internal characteristics...and yet it is the yin and the yang, the balance one must find to encounter his or her defined love...

nicely written Gene...

Gene -From a guy who doesn't know a damned thing about astrology, this is a very well done love poem, and that's what we're all about! Give us more, O Master. - Bill

Chinese philosophy, Hindu philosophy -- I always felt these were vane attempts to establish psychological boundaries within the psyche of very superstitious peoples as a means of control -- you have blended these together cleverly in your poem Gene -- another excellent thinking jogger for our imaginations to contemplate -- my thanks -- I truly like this kind of work -- share another with us -- peace and love to you my friend -- JMW

I think there's a little more than Chinese astrology going here...Great read Gene...from the water tiger(at least according to the Chinese)

By quoting her, "You say..." you're not necessarily buying into yin and yang, or whatever else she says. I enjoyed this poem for its universal theme of the universe, and because it's just a d--- good poem! Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Gene. --Kathy

Excellent balance dear Gene....get it? :-) Your "Yang" sounds like the perfect balance for you....I enjoyed the humor and the depth of this piece my friend. Best wishes to you and yours.

Bill :-)

You sure do know the yin and yang of it all Gene! ;-) Love is fascinating enough, when you add the yin and yang...watchout!;-)Enjoyed, thank you!

Love,
Eileen

Excellent writing sweet Gene..so sorry I have been so busy with my work..I haven't had much time for anything these days.....but always remmeber sweet man you are always in my thoughts..going away for a bit see you soon...be well and always safe...Hugsssss.much love too you...

Fantastic write, with so much to wonder about.

So many sides to all of us...complex and otherwise. Another good write, Gene!

You are a fantastic writer, so obviously, the writing quality is as good as ever- but i loved the content, being into astrology, too, Chinese and Western, and you crafted this with such knowledge and meaning.

Divided, yet complete; seperate, but whole. A fascinating, thought provoking piece, Gene, exquisitely penned. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

The yin yang Chinese philosophy is fascinating. I'm teaching English in China and it's a privilege to be here and learn about things like kong zhu, Chinese Yo-Yo.

There's a Winnie the Pooh zen side to this hard-working nation!

I think you just described my late husband and me.. nice work Gene!

Another wonderful write from our dearest Gene. Always a pleasure to read your words. I really like the all of you, sounds like some kind of wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

Oh yes Gene so different but if you find the right one that fits like a well made shoe, the fire will blend both for life. Great write again Gene, and I agree with the Yank in You and what she said it contains. Well done my friend, well done. Love and hugs, Bonnie

Men and women, so very different, but when they blend the earth moves and fireworks light up the sky! This was a Velvet Passion write, Poetry Man! HUGS! SC

Excellent. A poem to the complexity of the individual. Yes, I say that yin and yang exist (one part somtimes in hiding) within each of us. Both have had their day with me.

Quite some poem this, painted by a thin brush dipped in thick paint ... but so delicately pastel.
