The Art of Persausion

 The art of persuasion was her forte
 The art was most masterful on the dark canvas
 of night, in dimly lit places where smoky rhythms play
 With a subtle gleam of seduction in her eyes
 and a mystery in her smile
 No man could resist her charms

 But, her heart was not made of stone
 Her armor was vulnerable
 to the magic that is love
For love could not be dethroned 

 But love has its thorns, that belie its fragrant rose
 Could she stand heartbreak and the pain it would impose
 Could she stand the tears that would inevitably flow
 Or could she persuade love not to go?

Persuasion is very powerful, indeed. She's strong and can endure many things, but, not everything. Hearts can be broken. Your thoughts are tender and emotional, all at the same time. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy
