The Inexplicable Power of Woman

The Inexplicable Power of Woman

A wry smile, a fluttered eye,
sends a man to bumbling uncertainty,
as a woman’s guile pervades
every nerve and postured sigh,
for all that could be,
behind, a will so covert in intricacy,
a man but a slave to possibility,
the confusion of inevitability so taunts,
as a woman stalks.

What a man wants is plain,
a tilt in the kilt need not explain,
as lust does soar into an endless space,
a race he can never win,
if so desires a woman, otherwise,
and at her beckon call,
a man of strength has none at all,
cow-eyed gormless mesmeric sloth,
as if the brain is somehow switched off,
and he, led to the slaughter.

Never look into a woman’s eyes,
that’s where it all begins,
and lost we shall be in this fantasy
of numbing want and desperate pleas,
heartbreak, lies and ecstasy,
the devil you do, the devil you don’t to please,
and she like a cat taunting a mouse,
lets you go just to capture you again,
when a woman wants her dues,
paid in full.

A wry smile, a fluttered eye,
luscious lips and warmth inspired,
the death of you and me,
flesh the path of empathy,
for we are but bleating lambs
led to our demise,
and with an accepting smile we slip right in
and pay for sin,
our will somehow survives,
the web of love so hypnotized,
we wonder how we got here.
