Female Spirit

women of dusk and dawn who love to feast on their senses in a banquet ripened by love and courage, chilled to last till the moonlight bequeaths more hours for stories about earth's flesh... oh, let the first drone of music praise the female spirit voluptuous as hips sashay in gaiety wildly wet, empresses hunting for the eyes of god in men softly flowing in veils of mystery that hover in the fragrance housed in chambers of rich legends and reality: taste their tears, cuddle the apples of fertile breasts… yet no one can touch their essence or own life’s primeval wombs; women are women like their children defying any explanation.

First congrats. This celebration of women indomitable spirit which always leaves the males perplexed is the very reason for the attraction too. That mystery is what I blame for their troublesome nature too. Mother Earth is all weve got. You wove that one in too. Intelligent write . I enjoyed

Ultimately down to the core women are unintelligible yet practical and men are practical yet unintelligible. The plight of women or the struggle in modern western societies to gain the status they have now is pointed out well. Things are better, but I don't think the struggle is over.

(cont. ) The very logic we use is based on putting together what is the same and separating what is different. Unfortunately the differences are multiplied exponentially while the similarities which are found in our essence as human beings are minimized. Great work Nette.
