DiscontentThey said, "you look cute"
I smiled and remained mute
But, Did that really make me smile?
Remarked they, saying, you are beautiful, adorable and kind
"You are someone who's hard to find"
Are these the only adjectives, to which we woman are confined?
Isn't it a bit unkind?
We don't want to be deftly defined
Why are we personified...

GuiltHe was paving over the cracks
She wore black underwear
The night was grey
Her nipples came alive under the soft, silky material
And for a time, he was lost in lust
She liked married men
They had wives to go home to
He was fighting guilt and pleasure
Mostly, he was fighting himself
She watched him go
Men and their women, she thought
Money was...

Through The Eyes of A Childless WomanEvery day that I see you I see you as a strong lady
Through many trials and joys taking care of your babies
Who can speak for you with no child of their own
Every child varies so there is no right or wrong
I love the patience you have and I find it so amazing ...

Would you let me know?Would you let me know?
If trying to show you the outer rounds of heaven don't,
keep me on the charm offensive anymore.
If you fail to see me as the one-man, who finds you worth fighting for...
Then I'd give anything, to temper your belief in all these promises
Replacing all doubt with absolute certainty
Still, I worry not, because...

Peace Holds Trouble At Woman's Subtle Cheek
Peace holds trouble at woman's subtle cheek:
Pale, inviting and warm enough to kiss
Attentively with regards, seeming freak.
Shielded close to her open lips, eyes seek
Patiently... so moment goes not amiss,
Peace holds trouble at woman's subtle cheek.
On top her chest's fountain lies tips so meek,
Choice could travel its miles without a hiss,
Attentively with regards, seeming freak.
Labelling tricks...

AnnWith the sudden pang in your abdomen
And the onslaught of terror,
Did you look around one last time
At the familiar keepsakes on the fireplace
Or did you avert your gaze?
In the frosty darkness of that night
As you climbed to that holy shrine
With mud colllecting at your ankles,
Did the Virgin hail her unexpected visitor
or did she...

His Angie Baby"Angie" likes to brag, telling us all,
“I’ve got my guy Under my Thumb.”
The Rolling Stones might call her a “Honky Tonk Woman,”
but you sure can’t say she is dumb.
Her man is a wealthy gambler.
He gets a thrill watching ”Tumblin’ Dice.”
"You Can’t Always Get What You Want,"
but his Angie baby gets everything nice.
"Wild Horses” can’t keep...

Koi WomanShe is as fleeting as the koi
twice as skittish
delicate and pretty
life has burned her
a naturalist, who loves Thoreau
a poet, who enjoys Coleridge
She dreams in color
a woman who has been hurt
To approach her, you must be subtle
honesty is the quality she must see at all costs
if you try to approach any other way
she will shut you...

My memories bendI stopped for a moment to cherish the piercing and vivid
It was a split-second; behind cloud-like eyelids
There's a softness, being caught in their scope
Causing sorrows to quickly turn, into genuine hope
In my heart secretly chambered, hides your love tender and lush
Awakened to dreams that have long been asleep,
Whispering our sweet secrets with a gentle hush,
As...

Agatha Christie - 1890-1976
er first time on a board,
February 1922,
was Muizenberg, South Africa,
then again, in August,
the lady surfed Honolulu,
Hawaii, where,
by Duke Kahanamoku,
there may have been taught,
and in Waikiki lost her shorts.
Who would have thought,
of all the girls
in the whole wide world,
she was the sort to shoot the curl.
Tho' a novel way to spend the day,
no crime this time,...

The strength of a womanOne day a few years back I met this woman, that I wasn't sure of is she better than me. One thing for sure is we had been raised and lived life's completely opposite. But I began to listen to talk and to laugh with her. As if we new one another all of...

The Girl Who Measured The MoonI held a ruler to the sky
No reason why, I'd just comply
They told me dreams should stay below
But still, I stretched, I had to know
They said "The moon is not for you"
"You are just a girl, you'll fade from view"
But I would climb up to the roof
and whisper stars my quiet truth
They called me odd,...

I Saw A WomanI saw a woman standing there
Her clothes tattered and torn
I saw a woman standing there
Her face looked so forlorn
A women full of worry lines
Grey streaks throughout her hair
A tear was rolling down her cheek
But she was unaware
Life had been hard, bitterly cruel
Her dreams taken away
And yet she’d fought with all her might
To face...

To the Strongest Woman I've Ever KnownTo the strongest
Woman I’ve ever known,
The brightest light in every
Room, Church,
Hall and building
That she
Ever entered.
To the strongest
Woman I’ve ever known,
You never knew
How you lit up
A room, people’s lives
And their souls.
To the strongest
Woman I’ve ever known,
You were strong till
Your final days,
Inspiring everyone whose
Paths crossed with your own.
To the strongest
Woman I’ve ever known,
I’m...
