Dance Of The Sexes Poem by James Casey

Dance Of The Sexes

Since the beginning of time.
Men and women have been circling each other.
A dance of desire, strength, power and position.
Enemies by nature, yet lovers in armor.

Women seek to be loved, understood and respected
A man should love her for her heart and soul
They must be desired, nurtured and cherished.
Yet they will hold fiercely to the pride they control

Men need to be respected, wanted and play protector.
He wants to be loved, while keeping his mate safe
Yet his pride sometimes consumes him,
He needs to dominate, his little waif

The rhythmic dance of men and women,
Will continue until the end of time,
Circling, guarding, watching yet loving each other
Waiting for the opening, that will make the other mine.....

...This will forever be...The Dance of The Sexes.....
