Stony look stunningly penetrating
Faraway beyond 
Not rightly looking 
Not looking at you
but rather through you 
as bidding for a response but not quite

Such is beauty reminiscent of France Nuyen
of South Pacific innocence toasting 
the manliness of Rossano Brazzi

Cleverly adorned with the 
perfumed attraction of blooms of love 
To rightly entice the thirst 
of a male scramble for dominance

This is putting it on the line 
The female species rightly 
makes herself not overly docile
Prepared to take the bull by the horns
It will have the makings of a steamy night

A man hates to pass off a challenge of this
nature as the animal in him is seething!

  12. While a man may hate to pass on the challenge, there is no guarantee he'll escape unscathed. Nice!
