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

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
