To some men women are like a book.
Their covers to be looked at,
and if found attractive
picked up and opened.

If easy reading, with little depth, browsed,
and then put back on the shelf with all the others.

If not, it will remain closed,
it’s full meaning beyond
their patience, comprehension and understanding.

A blessed few will get past
the cover,
open, and delve into the contents.
Read the chosen words for their real meaning,
and savor the feelings that they evoke

In time it may become their favorite book,
to be read and reread
until time closes their eyes
for ever.
