Why another woman I could love

I stared down my heart,
On the four corners,
I could not understand,
Why another woman I could love,

I prodded my mind,
To seek the answers,
Why another woman I could love,
Against nature, against norms?
Yet, my heart beat with excitement,
The same way, when I got my first love letter

From Almond, many years gone by
I have drunk from the two wells,
Not an iota of difference,
Yet, the well I have chosen,
With peace I can't draw water,

The preacher has branded it a curse,
The lawyer calls it a forbidden fruit,
Yet, I when I look at the other well,
There are happy times, there are tears,
Heart breaks and lover's tiff,

The same components,
That characterize,
The water I draw from my well.
