Beautiful Woman

Your light at night will draw many men out 
In black your light-candles a love call out
They will emerge at night at break of black
Your light a drug to men on beauty’s track 

Your beauty draws men from the shadow’s cold
To flames of light your face his love blindfold
At night all men become a love chancer
Your beauty may grow a love lie cancer 

You must look through the fake to see the lie,
else love will hide in black and cold and die
In love the truth is hard to find and keep
The day brings light to mind and love from deep

In truth his eyes the key to love, just look!
In there his love the truth, an open book
