Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

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.

Jannie Breedt January 3, 2017 at 1:39 AM 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

Wayland Bunch April 12, 2014 at 5:25 PM 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.

Wayland Bunch April 12, 2014 at 5:24 PM (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.
