I know you’ll never understand me.
But does it matter?
The magnet that draws me to you
is shaped like love.
I’m mesmerised by its weight and texture
the smooth curve of the magnet -
a horseshoe on which I sit and wait.
I swing my legs.
When will you come?

I can relate to this...
'The magnet that draws me to you
is shaped like love.'
Lovely : )
Sorry Ann can't come up with any thoughts except 'What a great poem'
I love to get comments that show people have read and had thoughts about a poem. But I think I've decided that as a poet my motto will be "never apologise, never explain." And maybe never change anything. They are what they are, if I tinker they never improve!
Before I comment thank you for reading some of mine I appreciate it.
I see in this poem that the horse and shoe are one (like a magnet) I wouldn't say that its obvious at first but it was a fun poem to play with in my head. I'd like to have seen some more elaboration on the horseshoe and its representation of love but i guess the beauty of poetry is being shown and not told and I could clearly see an inspired piece here.

That's probably not a bad motto - a poem can end up running away with you otherwise, till you wonder just what it was you started by saying. Love/ lack of love is a tricky subject to tackle in an original way - you've managed it. x
