So emotionally receptive is the perception of a woman
To see her eyes light up with intense caring
In the presence of a child
To hear a flutter in her voice
As it echoes from her heart
The warm greetings of her touch
She can read the eyes of the ones she loves
And feel the pain of a suffering stranger

And it is very true that there is no fury
As the woman scorned
And that is a lesson
Best not empirically learned

The loving spell of a woman has power
Over the leaders of great nations
And can cause a good man to fall from grace
I landed on my knees once
When I was young and naïve

The beauty of a woman, the contours of her womanhood
Can be so alluringly addictive
That even a glimpse can take the breath away
Yet despite all her powerfully dangerous compelling properties
I’ll take my chances
