Tough Man, this builder of fine stone
And steel and brick; the walls that stood
For thousand years; the pyramids
Of Egypt past; the marble tombs
And castle walls — and deeper, deeper Keeps
— All to keep some in - and some out...

But no wall will shield a woman’s smile...

Yet, if you wish to test your strength —
Just you try resist — if just for a while —
And then tell me at great length
If you have passed that fiery trial —

“For her lips they curve as Cupid’s bow,
Within her eyes raw diamonds glow;
Her tresses flow as silken falls
Yet shatter hardest marble walls —

And as her eyes cut through my shell
To cast within their stunning spell —
Her smile then loads the fateful dart
And finds the target of my heart...”

But tell me, ‘Man of Steel’ and brick —
Do you know what makes her tick?

Tick-tock...goes the beating of my heart, listen carefully ,you know its song~

~~you keep my gears wound, moving inside, making my clock go pitter~patter...

Sometimes a man gets the 'ticks' confused with the 'tocks'...
