a woman's face wears many masks

a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real

he's a very clear-headed man
who takes his time and sets his goal
he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul

Welcome Faithmairee

Your words are fabulous and very wise. A great poem, the first of many I hope. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

nice write

This is a very nice write my friend, men are always trying to knock at a girls soul anything he can to be with her. You can never pick anyone up if you are busy putting them down
