Reason to Lov e

I loved her for her unique
Seductive feminine grace.
Was that reason enough to love?

More than that
Much more.
It was a command!

Who’d try to stop a hurricane?
Or the ocean’s ebb and flow?
Or try to block the sparkling sun?

To resist her tantalizing attraction?
Only a fool would have done it!
And yet the bells were....tolling!
