A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IS EASIER TO FORGIVE

The story begins with a woman called Eve

Ending with broken men saying women cause grief

Tossing them from paradise into a hell of a life...

But what is it that makes a woman beautiful?

The one thing that makes her precious to you?

Turning once upon a time into a billion nows?

Every scowl of hurt turned into sweet smiles....?

Love is not a word but a series of actions

Actions that transcend that mere “I love you”

The love shown, short of shorn, makes her glow

When a woman loves, even pain feels like joy...

They say, best to have a woman that you really want

Because needs change depending on the feed

The hungry when fed tend to scoff at food

Thus a woman filling a need becomes just seed...

Want not, waste not, is that tenet about the bees

A woman you want is a choice that won’t fade

Everything about her is your due to pay- always

The imperfect she is, becomes perfection to you...

A broken man will find pieces of him mended in her

As he loves himself, and that he does show to her

It is his love in her eyes that smiles back at him

The reflection of his love on her is beauty to his eyes...
