SHE Was HIS Anyhow
HE was never hers
No other voice had shivered her nerves
No other roared air had conquered her ears
Ever before
Or even after
Never on earth
Not outside of her dream anyhow
***
SHE was HIS or not SHE
HE was never hers
But was HE anyhow
***
He-man was everything
Only the voice was hers
Only the voice seemed to balance love and hatred
Sweet and tragedy
But still couldn’t predict the shed tears
Warm them wild
Dry them sweet
or has them taste even sweeter
***
SHE was HIS or not SHE
HE was never hers
But was HE anyhow
***
Her artistic ears learnt the alternations
But loved them all anyhow
They loved them, as they learnt them
She wasn’t guilty
Though they were
Cause the sadistic sounds easily amazed them
As eccentric as those were
As high was the ecstasy
SHE rapidly became HIS
But have never gone back SHE
***
SHE was HIS or not SHE
HE was never hers
But was HE anyhow
***
Guilty?
Who wasn’t?
Somedays he laughed but should cry
And his mind thought
Only HIS was guilty
He never was
And would never be
***
SHE was HIS or not SHE
HE was never hers
But was HE anyhow
***
His stinging voice always penetrated this smooth heart
And carefully spited it into small pieces once
While these eyes were falling like warm colored leaves
He packed them in his pocket
And ran away with them
So was her life away

Lovely exploration of the theme.
You have a very original form of writing poetry which is distinctive and full of emotional subtext. All YES!
