Seeing What I Want To Human Folly

Like a warm breeze
She can please me
and tease my heart

Yes, from the start
Her strange art was
two part told lies

Pool like in size
When she tries to
those eyes can fool

Excellent results from a finicky form. Women are powerful in that they can be your greatest companion or cause you the greatest turmoil. You have no need to worry though ... you have a good eye, and see what's really there.
