Opposite Attraction

They say opposites attract and ignite
Like the 4th of July fireworks, almost
Like a mutual attraction right on sight.
These are different people with a ghost
Like experience, barely a touch and that
Person teaches you something about
Yourself. Before you go splat and flat
Against the sidewalk, without a doubt
They pick you up. In that moment they
Taught you a valuable lesson. Skin color
Does not matter and neither does a grey
Sky or religion or if you have a dollar
In your pocket or having nothing at all.
Even if you have committed every sin
Known, there should not be a wall
Or a barrier or the past that can get in
The way of two people who appear
From contrasting worlds and places.
It is all simple connection and mere
Attraction with more than just faces.
