Fragile Balance

<b>Fragile Balance </b>

She was petite
A fragile crystal wine glass
He was huge
A bull, steam streaming from its nostrils
She had a mystique
A beautiful landscape though wispy fog
He epitomized a deluge
A wild stallion thrashing against the restraining ropes

She loved his unbroken savagery
He loved her solid fragility
When he erupted she cried
When she sobbed he died
So the checks and balances were solidly in place
Creating their world in time and in space

As time did progress his fierceness did tame
Her crystal clear mien did cloud
They pondered why it wasn’t the same
All around them discontentment howled
You haven’t the spirit of the man I adored
And you haven’t the mystery that drove me to frustration
He killed the internal trappings he thought she abhorred
And she mutated to fit his predilection

Thunder cracked, winds moaned through sobbing windows
Swirling gusts of confusion
Silhouetted limbs convulsed against the horizon
Earth’s solidity heaved and the bedrock did crack
As the realization crept into their collective breast
From this place they could not journey back
Trading passion for tedious unrest
