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...
