Glimpsing her bathing on the roof,
He averted his eyes and looked away.
Wondering if his eyes remembered her beauty correctly,
He sneakily took a short glance to see clearly.
And that was all it took for King David,
Who gazed upon the wife of his own soldier.
Lured by a glimpse,
Hooked by a glance,
Swallowed by a gaze,
He didn't know the steep cost to be paid.
