Man in Love

A man in love has a smile on his face,
A man in love is used to disgrace,
A man in love cares , not for the world,
For a man in love, his love is his world.

A man in love takes sorrow with pride,
A man in love his feelings he cant hide,
A man in love sees joy in defeat,
A man in love knows , no surrender , no retreat.

A man in love is ever content,
A man in love breeds no contempt,
A man in love is the one to trust,
A man in love is always just.

A man in love has conquered it all,
A man in love knows no vices at all,
But a man in loved when once betrayed,
Will burn the world with fire enraged.
