My Modern Woman

my 21st century woman,
my modern woman,
You have been first of the 
born free
one year younger but already 
more worldly than me,
traditionalist, but still liberal 
so you're a left wing and a 
right wing
which makes it easier for you 
to fly above all of us
cultivated to learn what needs 
to be done and what interests 
You.
webster can't define You. Your 
persona,
Your character, Your mind or 
what have You

You've transcended time by 
epitomising all that's 
renaissance and immortalised 
beauty with You're infinite 
morality
You find the time to do it all, 
so You less time is just 
timeless, like
You're mouth and You're 
tongue that does so much,
Enough to make me fall in 
love while still timely enough 
to captivate the world, 
so Your hourglass figure is 
just a symbol of how much 
you can get done within that 
frame
You. have changed my 
perspective on everything but 
I'm just one of the lucky few, 
the view 
of Your frame has altered my 
frame in mind to regard time 
more precious because not 
everyone can spend everyday 
with one of the greats
now...
You got me eating Bar-One's 
to try & give me a 25 hour 
day, with You

speaking of Great, You've 
made me dust my thesaurus 
to find synonyms for how 
great you are,
but You're more than these 
words describe so i'd like to 
write my own:
ambitious - Yusrah
beauty - Yusrah 
charming - Yusrah
daring - Yusrah
enigmatic - Yusrah
fantastic - Yusrah
gorgeous - Yusrah
humorous - Yusrah
infinite - Yusrah
jubilant - Yusrah
knowledgeable - Yusrah
limitless - Yusrah
magnetic - Yusrah
neoteric - Yusrah
opulent - Yusrah
passionate - Yusrah
quaint - Yusrah
real - Yusrah
seductive - Yusrah
talented - Yusrah
universal - Yusrah
valiant - Yusrah
witty - Yusrah
xenial - Yusrah
youthful - Yusrah
zealous - Yusrah
blue - Yusrah

I threw in that last one simply 
because I knew only you'd get 
it. And I know,
Yusrah: Ease.
Fa inna ma'al 'usri yusra. Inna 
ma'al 'usri yusra. Verily, along 
with every difficulty comes 
ease. Verily, along with every 
difficulty comes ease.

and You are the ease for so 
many, You do so much with so 
little and make a breeze of 
any hardship You face. You 
make my life harder as Your 
man but make me stronger as 
a man. so i'd be the first to 
admit,
There's an idiom that needs to 
be changed, because

for every great man, an even 
greater woman stands beside 
him.
