To Women

No mortal has triumphed to conquer your appeal, From Enkidu's Shamhat to Cain's Aclima it starts Longing for possessing you was part of the ordeal, For lust grew unfathomed with the first love darts Craving carved its roots in men with a hefty zeal, Until it blurred our nous with the serum of hearts Till now the journey keeps marching without retreat If all is summoned, faith to you until the endmost beat! © Guru Jad 2013

Ah the power of women, I to am captivated. If you have a chance read my poem "Your Ocean" It speaks of the power my woman holds over me. You are very talented Jad I love the symbolism you have used to knit your story together.

I will not even pretend to know or be familiar with "Enkidu's Shamhat to Cain's Aclima". What I will say is this... you have an amazing talent for a style of poetry that i personally could only hope to emulate. I am truly truly impressed my friend! I look forward to our continuing friendship. Cheers, Jack

Sir Jack, In "The Epic of Gilgamesh", the girl Shamhat was sent to Enkidu to tame him. Using her art, she captivated Enkidu's heart! As for Aclima, she was supposed to be for Abel (son of Adam) but Cain coveted her and later killed his brother when God did not accept his offerings. The two cases are examples of how women were the whole target of men , and that without them man is lost! -
