My self people cannot see, so this I write to define me.

For my self, children are a special joy,I say they are not as part of a ploy.

My self fears to be misunderstood and thought absurd so on this I brood.

My eye follows a woman's every curve, not in lust but because they are a pleasure to observe.

My gaze is not meant to embarrass or as an insult or to harass.

The most beauty and pleasure I could hope to find, lies within a woman's eyes. The rare glimpse I get is a special prize.

Because the eyes are the window to the soul, to look into a woman's eyes takes all my self-control.

To admit to all the little things which I enjoy would have man deny me, an idea with which I toy.

My self must stay hidden in my armor, to hide my sensitivity. For I would rather woman label me cold than man label me with disloyalty, a thing untrue to me.

My self cannot credit woman with a mind or heart or plea, to do so would deny my armor's reality.

DreamEvil, Something about this really touched me, I think it is the respect you portray within that got me, so back for a second round for you.

Well now, a little unveiling. Good job. That didn't hurt so bad did it? I laugh at pen of passion there. Well done Dream! But hey, men won't look at you like that. They all see women the same way!

I had thought this buried and long forgotten. Shows what I know.

What you said. Me, too. Women make this world one beautiful place to be. No doubt about it.

All you feminazis out there... I don't care. I'm wired for visual. Go sue the manufacturer.

What happens to the 'ugly' women then?! (Just curious!) You seem so conflicted, DreamEvil. I hope you find/have peace.
