Here are the rules

Men rule women
Beauty rules men
where it all started
I don't know where to begin

If you need someone 
to say the words
here they are
they have occured

It's late at night 
and you've been served
Is there any delight 
in what you've heard

Or do these words
come disturbed
unwanted in the way
the way they occurred

Have you with me 
sleep disturbed
my carress awaking
sleeping nerves

trying not to bother 
the next days due
My selfish desires
to add to your clues

Yes it's the tenderness
yes it is you
yes it is love
my arms ensue

to maybe embrace
and use kisses too
to feel my need
my need of you

what more to come 
it will be new
but shackled are my arms
for next touch of you

Men rule women
and beauty rule men
Long shall be the duty
of each to just give in

Nicely done my friend. Seems to me like another which came first, the chicken or the egg situation here. I enjoyed the read. Made me smile. God Bless, JB

Sad situation for the men of the world to be ruled by beauty and not love or commitment or some other morally right choices. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

lol, sometimes its hard to know who is doing the ruling, we are all governed by our desires and love is the epitome of it all, isn't it, nicely penned Situation
