a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truely 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

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Nicely constructed image of a mature man attracted to a woman and the woman's slow release to his advances.

I love the title! Welcome to PIP.
Your first stanza has such truth, and your second stanza describes a kind of man thats hard to come by.
Wonderfully done. Enjoyed.

First, welcome...this is a good place to both come to and come back to...now your write...loved the title (what drew me in to read it...and glad I did)...and my favorite lines were "he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul" ...an excellent conclusion to a lovely write

Welcome to Passions. (Beware of Balladeer, he has bugs) and he's mean and cruel and he's also pretty homely.
