To Love a Woman
You love the warrior woman
the one who's in control
you love the sweet seductress
who electrifies your soul
You love the teasing temptress
the woman who knows to please
you love the siren vixen
who makes you fall to your knees
You love the modern lady
who's full of class and finesse
who takes it all in her stride
knows how to dress and undress
You love the pretty woman
who graces you with a smile
the loving kind supporter
who makes it all seem worthwhile
Why can't you love the captive
who's imprisoned by your love?
The one who needs your kindness
to know what life is made of?
Why can't you love the weak one
who needs your strength to survive?
the one who clings to your heart,
for your soul keeps her alive?
Why can't you love the hurt one
who needs healing from your lips?
the "thirsty for love" woman,
who's only been granted sips?
Why can't you love her fully,
for all the good and the bad?
Love her in her sheer madness
Love her when her heart is glad
Be different from mortal men
Who desire what appeals
Be her hero of valor
who feels all that her heart feels
For I am myriad women
in the body of just one
Don't love just a part of me
or I'm sure your love to shun
Love my strong fighting spirit
Love my broken weakened mind
Love seductress and seduced
Love with madness that is blind
If you love in completeness
If you treasure all I am
You'll be my king and lover
I will make you feel all man!
