How To Confuse A Man

Speak plainly and do not explain yourself twice,

Let your silence finish what words begin.

Confidence unsettles a practiced listener,

Who expects you to fold or give in.

Change your mind without apology,

Not to tease, not to test, just because.

Freedom startles those raised on control,

It breaks unspoken laws.

Look directly, then look away,

Not from fear, not to play a role.

Mystery is simply a woman whole,

Who owes no map of her soul.

Do not rush to fill empty space,

Let pauses stand like locked doors.

Those who fear their own echo,

Will stumble across those floors.

Care deeply and walk easily,

Hold love without the need to bind.

The strongest confusion is clarity,

In a woman who knows her mind.

    Clarity in a woman who knows her mind is a good thing. They save themselves and others too.
