Juxtapose

An ethereal dream,
A maleficent nightmare,
A Serenade of Strings,
A Tchaikovsky Overture,

A balcony scene,
A poisonous affair,
A love-struck Romeo,
A heart-broken Juliet.

A gentle wind,
A raging hurricane,
A humble victory,
A pompous defeat.

So simple yet profoundly complex,
So difficult yet ridiculously trivial,
Such is the nature of Love,
The highest divine, yet essentially human.

~L.S. Thomas
