The Thorn & The Rose

        They say that opposites attract
But a relationship could never last
They warn to never get involved
For it would be over way too fast

The attraction is purely physical
And love needs so much more
But somehow we starve to connect
Like the waves and the shore

The friction that tried to destroy us
And push us so far apart
Couldn’t overcome the power of
The love we had in our heart

We found a way to ignore the laws
Of nature and found a forever love
We both know though that a Devine
Power was giving us a shove

It’s a miracle like with the Sun & Rain
Something beautiful grows
And opposites can survive together
Like The Thorn & The Rose
