Opposites Attract
He’s drawn to the sparkling bright lights and congestion of the masses in the city, while I seek the calm in open fields where there aren’t any street lights as the twinkling nebulae provide a blanket to cover me as I gaze in awe at their vastness.
He loves to dress in a suit & tie, whilst others admire his expensive cuff links, and I’m happy to compliment his attire in a gorgeous dress, even though I’d rather be strolling along the beach barefoot with sunglasses, a skirt and a singlet, with the sea breeze enveloping me as I ground myself, in nature’s own.
He mingles with the upper class blokes who revel in hiding their dirty laundry until their wives all get pissed, and loose lips begin to sink ships, as they drown their sorrows.
A big cock doesn’t measure ones success & intelligence, in fact, it bares no weight.
I can’t stand pretentious arseholes but he’s an unselfish lover that enjoyed the simplicity of stepping away from his privelaged lifestyle, yet he made the same mistakes.
Opposites atttact but it’s oft not enough to attain longevity, and I continue to flourish in his absence.

Sounds like the relationship did not survive his taste for the high life and its company. You end with a question that may be phrased as = Opposites attract but do they last?

All that glitters is not gold...some people are attracted by wealth and status, but it doesn't mean anything to me.

Your opening stanza, the comparison, is in excellent form. Quite engaging. I love the way you describe the night sky as twinkling nebulae. Raw and interesting. Always a privilege to read you.

It is a well expressed poem. I like your simplicity, and l'm not surprized that you flourish in his absence.
