Beware the one with lust in his eye,
With questions of "when" rather than "may i"
Beware the thinker, obsessed from the start,
For logic can know nothing of the heart
Beware the dreamer of night and day,
Who will not let reality guide his way
Beware the charmers with their speech full of wit,
True love makes one falter, if only a bit
Beware the man who drowns in his pride,
Only with himself will he ever side
Beware those who linger with food, drink, or sleep,
A lazy relationship will not ever keep
Beware he who never dares disagree,
The first spark of conflict

CONSIDER A GIRL raised in luxurious and unimaginable splendor. Every razor's edge was dulled to suit her soft, grasping fingers. Every hard base was smothered with linens and feathers and fabrics that gently stroked her delicate frame. Every stair she would have climbed she was instead carried, lifted and held so as not to chance a fall. Every rough sur
