Artemisia Exposed

conception
   of
      femininity
exposed

the courageous
      determined
         energetic
in exuberant  voluptuousness

with intent
of lips&
          strongwilled chin
evocative
of
disconcerting 
         freedom
yet
  an object
     of desire
in perturbing
                sensuality
