The Engineer and the Poet by Devi Nina Bingham


Two lovers misunderstand each other;

the engineer and the poet.

One speaks a mechanical language of structure,

the other sings a rhyming sonnet.


And while their perceptions are a world apart,

they can learn to see through the other's eyes,

and share a single burning heart,

and drink the wine of love, life's only prize.


Give me your eyes with which to see the world;

I want to learn everything of you.

For into this strange affair we have been hurled

and I want to know you through and through.


Isn't the thinker and the artist,

when blended together, the smartest?
