As a man

As a man
there is nothing more adorable
than a woman's smile
there is nothing more poignant
than a woman's tears.
To a man..
As a man...

Man, fool of fools they say
the greatest of them all
That man in love 
Headstrong and foolish
That man.
That man,
who ate the forbidden fruit
Fruit of bitter sweet fulfillment
without which, life,
life is life no more
bleak..dull this be the world
The world of wonders
No more.
to a man..
as a man...

How can you understand
My plights of past
My anxiety for future
if you have never loved
if you have never tried to be loved
though how unready be your heart
though how unwilling be your mind
How can you
understand me
That true me
without being yourself  such a man.
To a man..
As a man...

Love again

Time, it has taken another turn
a circle complete, almost one
hope, to those broken, the unsteady
that ignorant heart only passionate so,
just so...
it has stirred once and does again so,
In a flash...
once more rekindled from ashes to fire
the fire of so akin to mythical phoenix
that pheonix called undying love
dormant no-more, no more can it be
layers turned away, all those false pretenses
Burned away...to ashes
To begin again

Your scars are revealed and are beautiful
more so are so your blemishes
don't hide them, let me see
touch them, feel them
they make you so, so humane
makes this heart mine beat faster
 Mine. Yes this fragile humane heart. Mine
I for myself
 and for you, if you may so permit: together
can, but only so dare
to love again
you, your every part
heart, mind and body; all
and live, to tell the tale
of us, who loved
and failed
to love again
Who loved
And failed
To love again
