We could have it backwards.

Everything we're afraid of

could be the one thing that

can help us find love.

 

Why do we look in the world

for someone whom is just a

replica of us?

We rob ourselves of

something new to learn.

And no one really seems

concerned.

 

Yes, it's all backwards.

Someones differences

are strengths we don't

have.

One of these days we might

find ourselves in a way

we must lean upon them.

Nobody can carry all the

weight alone.

 

What do you hope  to do   by

trying to force someone

to be just like you?

 

Yes, it's just backwards.

We're not meant to be the

same.

It's so backwards, this insane

human game.

We're all missing out on

something extraordinary,

something special because

something about difference

makes us feel afraid.

Why not be brave?

Why does anyone have to

be afraid?

Brilliance!

Opposites are what is attractive. Yikes, I'd immediately dismiss another me.

A magnet, EMF only works by opposites. The world is suffering from too much from sameitus. It is not about equality. Women have always ruled the world - they watch us like naughty kids.

When will we learn, love, and appreciate the absolute beauty of difference?

Most people seek comfort in routine and relationships they feel akin to and can trust. It takes something more for them to seek out others that may not be like them all. I find it an adventure to relate to other people that I don't know, but haven't judged simply because I haven't experienced their culture or values.

A good poem to think about, and then act, going further than we've ever gone before.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
