Samson and Delilah

O how can it be
that I dismiss your beauty
knowing the profound effect 
you've made is more than I expect. 
You bring strong men to their knees 
Like Delilah did to Samson in past history
He lost his strength when his long locks were sheared
and she was able to subject him to defeat and instill fear
Even though he was a man who had exceptional strength 
Delilah did not care for him and would go to any length
to ensure that Samson would succumb to her charm
Her passion ultimately caused Samson harm. 
Sometimes beauty can be deceiving that way
And if you play with fire, you burn, you pay,
So be careful when you think its alright, 
Some lovers have evil intentions in sight.
