Wax Women
By Nick Delonas
Woman is a great miracle
so quick to change from state to state
Her love can seem satirical
given its emotional weight
Though just the warming of your feel
has her scent dripping on the floor
That same candle wax turns to steel
should you fail as chic decor
Now sharp as a samurai's sword
she will slice through your mind and heart
All past chivalry's good ignored
she defies an honorable start
Remember, boy, what woman is
lest you should lose your life and soul
Soak up all that melts on your lips
then shield your heart and play your role
