Essence

The essence of man is in the eyes of a woman The eyes of a woman can tell you all about the man Saviour her touch savior all she can give you Hang on those words it just might help you understand Can you aim higher Can you be better Can you be the man you know you should be The strength of your nature Can sustain delicate flowers Can guide the boat to shore in the wildest of seas The essence of man is not in fists flying Power and control just masks how small you are Paying for sex is just paid for entitlement Always kicking downwards standing at but never raising the bar The essence of man who stands bereft in his kingdom Is the sum of his parts an island for all to see When your walls come down who's there to rebuild them Who's strength and patience is the calm to set you free
