Engineer and Philosopher

I do not know the way to subtle dreams.


I care not how you might define a sin,


but give me a lever and I shall move the world,


though with my tools I let the Devil in.


 


I do not comprehend your tiresome thoughts


that float like bubbles, useless, in the air.


For there is steel and iron to be shaped


and molecules to sunder if I dare.


 


I'm no philosopher or butterfly.


I know just who I am and know my place.


I'll pour the molten glass and hammer nails,


whilst you will wander off to outer space.


 


My mind is made of gears and clockwork parts,


while your mind ebbs and flows like distant sea.


You are a bit of sand stuck in my head,


which slows my work and my efficiency.


 


And yet, and yet, my darling, here we are,


two worlds entwined in unexpected bliss.


What use is science or intense debate


when all creation's found within a kiss?

I tokk 'Philosophy of Science' as a grad student and loved the back and forth. This is nice because it does what too seldom is done with competing theories--it seeks out common ground. Good stuff. I'm adding you to my reader list. I'd say more about the poetry but I know nothing about the rules of poetry (I have only written one)

Love it!!

Your rhythm is perfect. I enjoyed every syllable. Each line beginning with a statement ....good solid points made in each stanza. You are skilled in the art of setting a mood, bringing the reader into your space.

This is good poetry!
