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 "  -

J.A.B.  2008

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!

Providence led her to the door of my heart, and she pushes my soul around with soft hands, batting at my love like its a floating dandelion Eileen. Distance is painful. I'm just a beating heart like you Eileen...Justin

AHA! Glad I decided to read this! Awesome verse. Hope you have found that woman - and if not, I hope you find her soon. She's somewhere around here...hmmm....;) Enjoyed this today, among some other poems you have written. I like the speaking to spirits part. Is that weird to like? Haha. My captcha says: 666V....hm... I hope no one's too religious here. O_O Always, Laura

Fine end-line and inner-line rhyming... speckled with assonance and alliteration and full of excellent phrasing. Great title! Best wishes, Keith

Justin, I don't know about a ballet stance.. but give me them diamonds and I will dance on them :-) I love your poem.. Your second and third lines are my favorite. I can smile when all is lost.. :-( (-: Here you have represented a powerful woman to love.. you have cradled my heart with this poem. Well Justin, I think the women you are searching for can be in many of us.. one way or another war has it path on us.. I'm glad all of the above is what influences a man in your stance. xox~ PD

are you sure you want an old mom? heehee. This is neat-O. Reminds me of that song I heard on the radio a year or two ago, where he sings about the kind of woman he wants! Using unusual images. Keep up your creative pen!
