Catch the Right Worm
(A reply to “The phenomenal woman” by Abul Mayen, “Hope John”)
This breezy morning
I have caught the right worm
Basking on a rock like a lizard
She twirled her waist in her briskly walk
A mile ahead of mature beauty
The in-made beauty perfumed with humanity
I smelled it perfumed---she was over-formed
In the factory of love
Where a phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
I sneezed out her perfume---phenomena
That was wonderfully her name
Phenomena---the phenomenal woman
Her briskly walk scares dust away
Dust which floats like the nose of a dog
As far from the head as paradise from the earth
She attacks the road and captures it
She garners love lessons for her self-control
Eyes as white as Bible pages
Her scriptures made in the proverbs of Solomon
Watch the fool agape---her eyes reddish in the fools’ siege
Misconceiving wisdom from the love factory
Where a phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
Her desires are sandwiched between meekness and pity
Beauty of the sun
Penetrating the ears of my heart
Figurative and appetizing---lush lush like an ice cream
She never sweats in the heat
The ice in her heart can extinguish even an everlasting fire
That’s why wrongdoers bow before her if to take refuge in her heart
And she sends them to be remade
In the love factory
Where phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
She fears creation to not step on an ant
Her clothes woven with respect and compassion
Counterfeited men in the factory of pride
Shy away to not follow her leave alone her heart
Touch her for romance and you have touched the tail of a scorpion
When she asks you, whom do you love?
I thought you knew my jokes is all you say
Because you are unlike poles for she is made
In the factory of love
Where phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
She keeps her smiles and kisses in her heart
She removes her smile for breakfast
Kiss the future breakfast of a phenomenal man
In the factory of realism where real men and women are made
Love grows into a tree of life
To distill out bad from good
In the factory of love
Where phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
Phenomenal men and women are not enticed
Not blindfolded by outward beauty and riches
Spite not theirs
Theirs is kindness---perseverance---tolerance---humility---love of humanity not lust
For in this factory love is transformed into humanity
A tree of no worries
A tree of no more suffering and gender based violence
A tree of no depression and maltreatment
Take a fruit from the tree of equality and be alive
Only found in the factory of love
Where phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
She is courageous like a woodpecker
A courageous bird who thinks
He can cut down the mahogany tree with his beak
Full of doubts whether a phenomenal man exists
She loves her life more than her cloth and lipstick
But phenomenal men will be convinced too that phenomenal women are there
Only when they meet phenomenal women and make ends meet
They enjoy life of no separation
Non-phenomenal men fail to find phenomenal women
For they are easy-goers
They go early to catch a wrong poisonous worm like them
Not knowing the factory of love
Where phenomenal woman is made
Only for a phenomenal man
