Justin Bordner Poet Epic

She Is Gospel

When a woman is just a woman 
the world waits not for her wishes and woes
It seeks to rape the rose of her youth and ravage her assertive reason,
she must become more than mortal meat, she must rise to where hot spirit flows
accelerating the bloodletting of her zen into a hostile zeitgist, she makes endurance a weapon,
the gestation of her gestalt confronting the civil and savage alike, sharp beauty is all she knows
becoming a love hunter with no remorse, womb driven, wasting no color of season,
learning to weep over the bones of bastards, to scream through shadows,
reaping light from simple eyes, heart uncommon
Eve believes God as she grows -

J.A.B.

Laura Breidenthal June 30, 2015 at 2:48 PM Love it, Justin.. : } " she makes endurance a weapon"..."the gestation of her gestalt confronting the civil and savage alike" ...Absolutely brilliant! From mortality, stretching and growing to spiritualism - with such intuition, strength and beauty, beyond the world is where all women should reach for so that they may see mother earth in full view, and understand we are creators of destinies we've never dreamed of. Justin Bordner July 1, 2015 at 2:06 PM You should love it my intense Poetess, you were born to triumph over suffering and ignorance...yes, creators of destinies that will define the indefinable, liberating the unbelievable Laura...J.A.B.

Inspiring and powerful lines, Justin! You have a great respect for the female gender and it shows... Justin Bordner June 29, 2015 at 1:52 PM Every great woman must transition from being a child of the world to a Mother of the world, just as every great man must transform into a Father of this world Kelly...J.A.B.

Richard Lamoureux June 25, 2015 at 8:04 AM I like the biblical references. I also enjoyed the rawness of the piece, it felt like the aftermath of birth. Justin Bordner June 25, 2015 at 1:35 PM Spiritualism is quintessential to the truth of our journeying through this awfully strange world Richard. I am glad that the soul of this poem resonated with your beliefs. Yes, the birth of a warrior...J.A.B.

Kp Nunez June 24, 2015 at 7:06 AM Glad that you came out with your own take of your theme, Justin. Excellently direct. Though deep, it does not hide but rather exposes more truth about the woman being just what she is. I guess I went extreme with my terse version. :-) Justin Bordner June 24, 2015 at 8:24 PM Every Contest premise that I share with this community of extraordinary writers begins as an original inspiration that I create composition with Kim...I am very honored that you're open to my vision Poetess...you are beautiful in the extreme Kim...J.A.B.
