Cry of a Woman
Just because her face is dimpled
and dry
does not mean her heart doesn't
cry.
Just because she sings sweet-
love song,
doesn't mean there is nothing
wrong.
Sometimes we need to look a
little closer,
so that we won't end up being
the loser.
The fact the her stream seems
so silent,
does not mean they make no
clear comment.
The fact that she manages a
simple smile,
does not mean that her fate is
so fragile.
Sometimes we need to hold
their arms,
to feel the sound of a woman's
alarm.
Love to her is more than shared
emotions,
she needs a man with dogged
devotion.
She may gladly accept your
fragrant flower,
yet she prays to feel your
loving....shower.
And when she let lose her
tender tears,
a warm embrace will hold back
all her fears.
Do not charm her if you are a
cheeful cheat,
these weaker vessels are very
hard to defeat.
Do not make her a
mother...before time,
dumping a woman is not just a
common crime.
You will reap what you sow...
someday,
even if it seems she has nothing
to say.
