I Am a Woman

 

I am a woman up to the tips of my hair.

I am a woman by spirit and nature.

Like no one, I’ve got an innate flair.

As no one, I need a daily rapture.

 

I can make an elephant out of a fly,

My ‘yes’ a man can never deny.

 

I do not burn in the fire,

In the water, I do not sink,

I know exactly who is a liar,

And know what a man thinks.

 

Of course, I can st...

Beautiful Woman

You’re the most beautiful woman in the world

Because baby you’ve stolen my heart

You’re the most beautiful woman in the world

Because without you my world would fall apart

Your eyes dance and captivate my mind

And make my head and heart pound

Your lips are where the hunger starts

Joining to ignite and fire my heart

Because without you baby, my world would fall apart

Vital

The haunting of a broken tap: drip, drop

The thirst after the sun: drink, gulp

She never said a lot, gargling girl

Sliding in and out of my body

Helping me breathe, walk, talk

That was why I swam

It was water

Brought me alive floating out to No Man’s

Diving down to skim the sand

It was water

Wanted it, always had it, but could never catch it.

It was water

In my own anticipation
Transcendental manifestation
Humanely celestial
Bewitchingly pulchritudinous!

Aura always so effervescent 
Elegance speaks praise
The world is yours in so many ways
Richly benevolent 
Bewitchingly pulchritudinous!

Disenfranchised; it's emancipation actually 
Your ebullience touch the new high
That glimpse, a consolation, and a deep sigh.

Russian jets being the enemy to be hit

Her missiles were old like her plane

LOVE PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge me with your bitterness.

Don't care how you dress.

To me, it doesn't matter who you kiss.

 

Love is a philosophy, not an activity.

Don't force your adjectives on me.

My acceptance is on the content of your character.

Selfishness is the only way you know how to care.

 

The way you walk through life. 

It is like walking on the edge of a knife.

This music,

stare at those lips

and kiss those green eyes,

drink from the clouds

and jump on the pond

to feel the stars

The Girl I Sold My Horse For

rambling wide was what I did

saloons and bars near and far,

winds alive behind my back

horizons lit by a guiding star

 

I never thought much different

till she caught my horse's rein,

she taught me to settle down,

didn't need my horse's mane

 

she's sassy and bright and clever

I grew to love the kegs she wore,

she's the mother of my kid now

The radio announced…ground frost and the promise of snow later in the day

Happy because she is doing what she loves

Behind the house of glass are falling

SHE CARRIES LIFE

She has no scars.
She needs no wings.
She bleeds like an angel crying for her sins.

She weeps for her feelings and loses them in the rain.
She’s dead in the morning until she drinks the golden liquid that can leave a nasty stain.
She waits, she commands, she’s ready with her plan.
She delivers new children into the world without a helping hand.

We stand and stare and wonder how they can...

Garden Greed

The rose recognizes the beauty of the sunflower, all the while self-assured in her own. She does not envy the golden beauty for her appeal to you

 

She knows better - she has guarded her stem from the likes of your fingers and the fingers of those before you, and the ones that will come after

 

She knows that while you, selfishly and ignorantly, believe the garden to be created for you...

Beauty - A Perspective!

Beautiful segment you look a core element,

Immersed in faith, love and sentiment,

That smile you wear is rich and aromatic…

You seem well versed and fantastic;

The vibes that you send are an enrichment.

 

It’s perhaps not just this recent occasion,

You surpass every time with wit and conviction,

When you reveal the beauty that you are…

It’s tremors are felt vast and far,

Supremacy distinguished; the world is glad!

And in that backdrop, a pretty woman sari-clad.

And what it did at the end was all good.

It's good to be a woman

It's good to be a woman at 30 years old.

 You can even ask for vodka to be cold.

At thirty you have something to surprise,

And see the excitement in his eyes.

When you are forty he nervously trembles.

 Hundred-year old man with Viagra gambles.

It's good to be a woman at the age of fifty

 Climax has already passed, you are shifty.

It's good to be a woman at the age of sixty.

Wonder Woman

The ocean of emotions that always kept firm,

Wearing a laughter and some smiles more than often;

Like a bee always busy and working though,

She was a lifeline… someone, others would throng…

She looked physically feeble but mentally very strong,

Her temperament was the very key,

Perhaps the reason why she was she.

 

She was professionally entwined and held a charm,

Simply Says

 

Simple Girl, frankly, says: 
“Life is simple without lies”. 
Lies are always complicated, 
And TRUTH, surely, will rise. 

 

Simple Girl's heart is warm, 
And brain is normally calm. 
Thinks for her shiny future, 
Happily, without windy storm. 

 

Simple Girl believes in God. 
Says always a faithful word, 
And purely behaves in life, 
As human does always good.

Practical Woman

 

 

“To do or not to do”, her daily instruction 
I should always obey, to avoid reaction 
She believes I'll remain in a weak construction 
Wants to be retained in her falling section 

 

Eyes, ears and tongue, three sources to act 
Depending on brain, to judge it in the heart 
She is herself leader, no love in her chart 
“Practical in reality”, She said. This is a fact

We were lame and we were young,

Walking in the woods,

While singing our song,

Never in my dreams, felt anything wrong,

Thought you were always coming along,

Do not remember where exactly I lost you,

My eyes searched for you in heavy fog,

I continued my journey amidst the rocks,

Shivered through-out the night,

Darkness was blocking my sight,

Always thought that you wer...

Don’t be afraid when a woman shouts 
Or she shyly asks your whereabouts.
Be afraid when she is quiet,
The whole month she is on diet.
Be afraid when she tells you lies.
That’s how any love dies,
And here is no use of cries.

The Hour is Late

An innocuous, yet mysterious woman walks into the local bar. She approaches the Bartender and says in a flat tone, “Water please.”

She is around 5 feet tall. She has long, dark, slightly stringy hair. Her eyes are very dark, almost black. Her clothes are old and worn.

He says, “Honey this is no place for you. You should go back where you came from.” A man taps her on the shoulder and ask, “H...

For she knows a flowers needs rain to bloom

Woman in a Cafe

I watched you working
Treading carefully through
The forgotten orders
Excusing your colleague’s forgetfulness

You had a youthful beauty
But your eyes looked older
Than what your body gave away

Forgive me for writing this
But your smile seemed genuine
And that caught my eye
I liked that.

She only hears the rooster's call
In the morning and peeks deeply
At the sun's beams through the window
The way she reads a talking mouth.

She's twenty-two but thinks like twelve
Keeping fairytales in her nook
How a sixth grader reads a book.
Old papers hide in her basket

With her touch becomes piece of art
As she tears and folds the pages
Forming flowers, vases and doves.

I can can bang on the walls but to you it just sounds like a knock on the door. 

I can scream until my breath runs short and my lungs hurt but to you it just sounds like a whisper.

Womanhood

I.
How does a girl become a woman?
The first time her royal blue skirt
Was stained with drops of blood
Tainted childhood's innocence
Of fertility's awakening.

Rules had chained her feet from crossing
The bridge towards a boy playing
His piece in a saxophone
Lullabies of attraction
A petty love from the ashes of lust.

Chains rang as she heavily walked
Up the stairs of her fantasies

"Crooked!"

A voice sang through the pavement of your innocence. You wondered.
But ignored to listen. Then, regret eventually rushed through you when neglecting the voice has turned into a warning.

"I can do this...everything..."

And that same innocence blanketed your sight towards what could have been done. Such naivety comforted you with rising above the warning. By pushing yourself. So...
