The Iron complained,
You weren’t strong enough to pull me to you.
Said the Magnet to the Iron:
I could only attract you,
But you have to yield & move.
Said the Iron: my Will could’ve
Been overpowered

And Your attraction was weak to pull me to your side.
Reticently they’d borne their Love,
Undisclosed to the addressees.
Uncommunicated Love
Fermented, effervesced,
Casked, distilled and bottled – forever.
