A steel cage he has built for himself
Many years ago
In her presence weakens ever so slight
Known to the world, a cold hearted man
Only she can melt the ice he has forged
To protect himself from the world
No great beauty to some
But to him, she is his Queen, his Aphrodite
Only she, with a single glance
Can bring him to his knees
Soft skin on her thigh sets his soul aflame
Mind making love to his with her words and smile
Entwined with no other but her
He now knows what it feels
To be a man in love
The steely cage around him burns to ash
A man besotted, his lady love
Sets him free
