My Phenomenal Woman

- response to Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman" My phenomenal woman, I have never seen another like you, You're phenomenally, fiercely, wonderfully, Crafted by the hand of God, Who selflessly le you forth from his hand, To be with us here, its all In your razzle In your cooling voice In your spicy breath It is all in you Wonderful Phenomenal in each respect. You are a goddess living on earth The wreath halo on your head is testimony, To the divine and fine nature of your existence, With each move of your hips The eyes of men bow, their jaws follow suite And they wonder what it is you search for In your never ending joy In your lust for life In your hunger for living It is all in you Wonderful Phenomenal in each respect. So keep on dancing to the whistle of the sky Keep shining more than the stars combined For you are a Venus which is all mine Full in her love and sex, born of the sea The sea parted like side to side To let you come ashore to this earth In the breath of your spirit In the jewel in your heart In the wink of your eye It is all in you Wonderful Phenomenal in each respect. Even when the gods saw you walking Cooley and slowly on the earth They wanted to tear down the gates of heaven Sit on top of the trees and watch you In your life of grace as if they Are watching players in a theatre, I said it In the flowers in your air In the blessing of your life In the woman that is you It is all in you Wonderful Phenomenal in each respect.
