I have no power to change your nature
my books are of no use to you
and my convictions do not convince you
nor does my fatherly council do you any good
you are the queen of anarchy, of madness, of belonging
...to no one
Stay that way.
Comments : What can I say ! Sort of skimmed through the poem, said ho-hum, something made me re-read it and I fell in love with it. Thanks to Ruks for posting this on facebook. - Zen

Boy, that would make for one stormy marriage :)
And by some coincidence, this weekend when I watching Woody Allen's Annie Hall, I was laughing at the irony of how much the male lead wants the female lead to change and when she does start doing so, it is not helpful for the relationship. Maybe the poem is right after all..
