Justin Bordner Poet Free verse

Warpath Woman -

I need a woman who can dance on a diamond and who can curse on a candle with equal aplomb,I need a woman that can calm like a bomb,

I want a woman that can sew ginger stiches on a sad man's soul,I need a woman that can sing the sorrow sweet from unexpected defeat,

I need a woman I should trust like the sun,one that will find fun in the mud,carry a ton,laugh when its done,a lady that can rob a mob ,an old mom,

I want a woman that can slap a kid like shes petting a dog,one that speaks to spirits as though she was born in the fog,having eyes that compete,

I need a woman that can raze a nation,shun reservation,and raise the meek and weak to sublimation,a woman that could die with a smile,

I want a woman that can hug,shove & tug me,a fine lady that tells me " despite working for the world you are a king handsome & rude all the while "  -

Ink Empress June 10, 2026 at 3:09 AM Dear Justin, what an honest and sincere poem on what you long for and look for in a woman. But isn’t it even better when you teach a woman how to love life, despite all that they may have endured or tasted in life. I think that would be sweet. “despite working for the world you are a king handsome & rude all the while” yess! That’s exactly what you deserve, and Im sure you will receive what you’ve manifested so poetically! This made me smile! Pleasure reading. Sending you light always Justin Bordner June 10, 2026 at 12:07 PM Yes Poetess, a Woman whom is the very Template of what a Man needs in a companion...Your smile is my joy...J.A.B.

Kp Nunez October 24, 2015 at 1:59 AM After days of checking and haven't found a new post from you, I decided to poke in your poem closet and found this, Justin. Made me smile. Any woman would be envious of anyone with these qualities! Loved how you wove the complexity, how soft and sturdy, young and ancient, - both her personality and character can be. I saw one of your replies and I'm happy to know you have found her, Justin. hugs! Justin Bordner October 24, 2015 at 3:03 AM When you poke my heart I feel the pleasure of playful love Poetess. My warpath woman is complex like love reason, sturdy as love stone and soft like love on warm lips...J.A.B.
