The Truth About Women

Bestowed with femininity,
     wisdom, elegance, and grace,
 exemplifying dignity, 
     daughter of the human race.

X chromosome integrity
     ordains attributes endowed,
according by propensity, 
     a nature kind and proud. 
     
Beauty and vitality
     anoint her noble gender,
magnum opus artistry 
     imparts celestial splendor.

Her marvelous complexity
     gives complementary disposition
to valiant masculinity 
     for a perfect coalition.

Exquisite physiology
     yields licentious pleasure due
the wanton sensuality 
     of erotic pas de deux.

Magnificent hologyny,
     woman becomes by thy behest,
sacred vessel of posterity, 
     with honor ever blessed.

The truth about women is they are lovable. The same your verses are deep lovable. Only Honore de Balzac has such deep observations about what in literary critics is called ”eternal female”. In comparison with this ”eternal male” is a irony even there are lasting models of the saint, hero,scientist, prophet etc.

I agree with all this, but also, I want to say that the true beauty of the woman is her insides, for beauty goes away sooner of later but that goodness remains. Wonderful poem about the woman. Thanks for writing this for my woman is not pretty and disabled but her ins and her love are all woman and more. Luis Estable
