Win Her Mind First



Win Her Mind First

A woman’s heart is a constellation,
A cosmos of wonder and discovery
Not a piece of real estate to conquer,
Not claimed by wishes nor wandering hands
Words, woven like silk,
Whisper to her senses,
Stitching the air with whispers of intrigue
She's not a puzzle to solve
A beautiful woman is a mystery
You appreciate in awe.

Admiration blooms in the garden of glances,
Where physical prowess stands tall like statues
Imposing yet unmoving.
But artful expression, a brushstroke of brilliance,
Paints passion across her canvas of thought.
Caresses may kindle her fire,
But it is the ember of intellect that endures.
To hold her heart, first hold her wonder,
For love’s truest key turns the corridors of her mind.

    Your poem presents a thoughtful and eloquent view of the depth required to win a woman's heart. The comparison of her mind to a constellation is powerful, emphasizing that love and admiration should come from a place of understanding and intellectual connection, not just physical attraction. The imagery is vivid, and the choice of words is both elegant and impactful. The poem feels mature and grounded, offering valuable insight into the nature of love and respect. Beautiful piece Charles.
