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

The soul

can never be breached
be it a man's or woman's....

You are permitted
to have your own domain
of what you feel
you must have
this is my view though poetic
please do accept
