The Heart of Her Matter

By MIchele PaulPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

These streets make her wonder

If later

After you discover the fire most remember

Beyond the poised demeanour and vulgar temper

Under that thick and tough player layer

You'll uncover her de jure nature

Stay with her a little longer

Don't just cast an eye over

She'll savour the story teller

One to trigger her laugher

And only a peaceful warrior will break her barrier

Carry her over cold water

And as you breathe deeper

You'll hear her whisper the heart of her matter

Tender
