true power

a woman has power a man can never fathom
she can make him shrivel into a pulp
an unrecognizable mass of a confused phantom
answering in whispers, grunts and an ocassional gulp

a woman can make a man feel he is nothing
he will be wary of all his movements and words
a woman can make a man think she is noting
everything he does or says in his private worlds

a woman can make a man think he cannot do anything
feeling that he is being watched and hawked over
that she knows what he will do, what he is thinking
and make him feel that from her he can never run for cover

on the other hand

a woman can make a man into someone more complete
encourage him to be himself and feel confident
a woman can let him do everything, even compete
with ghosts and real opponents, without feeling spent

do not lose yourself to the fears that hover
a woman can only strike fear to a heart if you let her
rather, let her know that you will never suffer
the indignity of losing what is inside this passionate lover
