His smile is a rainbow after the storm of his anger His eyes are lighted blue tunnels to his thoughts His hands are either gentle enough to hold a newborn Or clenched in a rage of frustration from his expectations of himself His voice can roar like the proud lion he is Or be so heavenly, the mere sound of it soothes all my problems away How can a man be of such extremes? It matters not how It matters only that I love equally both sides of him
