Human Named Woman

An entity of beauty the essence of my kind
I respond with beats and thoroughly empathise.
Love and faith, food for my soul
ablaze with intense fire is my whole.
Distinctive scents trace my sprightly steps
exultant roses recognized in depths.
Tough and thorny is my very land
my heart touched by the divine God's Hand.
With wondrous souls my words amaze
their light on my path of life I appraise.
Myself, my heart, human defined
to win a soul I pick the gems I find.
Nameless, undefined what is hidden inside
carefully concealed from a flaming mind.
Fate walks off with one precious jewel
a mysterious strength arises ready to rule.
A woman on a journey of intuitive capability
dips her pen into the world of words to honour Humanity.

I suspect both history and human nature suggest that the female soul is far closer in general to God than the male soul...after all, the most profound act a human can do is to bring a soul into the world.

A powerful poem highlighting the greatness of a woman... How sad we still do not live in an equal world...

Woman=Wif Of Man=Half of Man they say and they are so wrong for Woman is God's representative of love on planet earth thus no just equal but superior in many ways to Man and that includes poetry as well! Proof? Just reading this poem will convince all those who may doubt the mighty pen of a lady called, Besma!
