Convictions of a Converted Guy

At this point in his adult life

The temptress didn’t appeal

To his tender side anymore

Her vanity was a reminder

To why Eve was a wanderer

Into the depths of sin for all of mankind

Not to discredit the value of her being

He was just sick of seeing

The allure of femininity

Used negatively for profit

Exploiting sex appeal

To conscious hunger buyers

Was not within his gentleman style

Of worthwhile relational bliss with women

Plus his distant relationship with his mother

Withered his feminine emotional connection seed

And added to his need

To feel loved and needed

As a provider and protector

For the sake of femininity

To heal from his yesterdays

Concerning the opposite sex

He decided to turn his back on worldly ways

Became a priest and remained celibate

To respect the essence of all women

As loving and nurturing beings

Including the ones he had potential chances of dating

After becoming a priest

A unique and interesting write. Good one.

Do priests date? I didn't think they did, but I love love the respectful stance towards woman that this poem seems to adopt. Appeal to the soft side of the woman, give her love and respect and she becomes a mystical flower in bloom right inside your hands :P
