You are asking whether this stuff would happen if God has an opinion on whether it happens. It's like asking if God has any control, and implying He does not.

I will try and be as brief as possible as readers should be able to adopt there own unique interpretation and adapt it to there own circumstances.
The poem is about a woman who falls in love with the man she wants - not the man he is. Therefore he fails to keep her happy and tries to be 'the masterpiece' she has drawn and picture sin her mind. The mind and heart however are different things one feels and one thinks/sees. The reference 'the madonna of the rocks' was a painting Nuns commissioned Leonardo da vinci to do, they were very specific in how and what was supposed to be in the picture. Da vinci however being himself added his views, himself pretty much into the poem and was chastized for it displaying controversial and blasphemous images and depictions of 'Madonna'. He therefore had to re-paint it to the order they wanted. This is interesting because artists put their 'blank canvass' on a pedestal (much like we are a blank canvass at the beginnings of a relationship) and the artist creates their own interpretation of something that was/is real (for instance the lover) the title is relevant here as is the point that behind her painting the true picture is hidden (the person he is) tears wash away these layers revealing his true self, who he is (her anomaly, her fake an abberation) in short we cannot choose who falls in love with us, but we must be sure they love us for who we are or we become not just their anomaly but also ours.
Its about being who we are and not how we're pictured. Da vincis poertait of Madonna Of the rocks is a good example of someone creative who is admired but then hated for creating 'a masterpiece of disappointment' - that masterpiece is who we truly are.
I hope thats helped it is a very deep poem.
