What Is a Woman

What makes a girl?
Is it not “sugar and spice and all things nice”?
What makes a woman? Oh…all that and so much more
A woman is made of sugar…sweet to the taste
Spice…Oh…she can burn your tongue and soul
All things nice?  Hmmmm…
Things….let me define them for you...

The warmth of her body
The warmth of her soul
Her nurturing heart
How she makes a man whole
Her soft curvy form
Her luscious sweet lips
Her pillowy bosom
Her curvaceous hips
Her eyes that can speak
In many a way
Her hands that massage
All the worries away
Strength that bears
The pain of giving birth
How she puts herself down
To give you more worth

She is wispy and dreamy
Ethereal, unreal
Sent from above
To make a man feel
She is a seductress
Who can  be a  friend
She is the strong one
On whom to depend

Who can define her?
She is beyond all this…
The mystery of life
Is contained in her kiss!!!


Now…..For the glimpse of her other side!! I’m posting an old poem of mine, 
Warrior Princess. Yes, women can HUNT as well! Read them and Weep. 

The Warrior Princess

Don’t think me fragile, quick to break
No, don’t ever make that mistake
My warrior spirit’s deep and strong
I can avenge when faced with wrong
I am the Warrior Princess
	
I gallop on my mighty steed
Brandish my sword, fulfill my need
What my eyes crave, I swoop to take
No human dares this heart to break
I’m the Warrior Princess

With mad abandon, I make love
With eagle talons, I’m no dove
I subjugate, and I command
Full surrender to each demand
I’m the Warrior Princess

When you think me supple and weak
The fire in my eyes will speak
I play a role, capture your soul
I dominate not part but whole
I am the Warrior Princess

In my veins the power to rule
No man can play me for a fool
Yes, he may think my heart is won
But can you hold the blazing sun?
I’m the Warrior Princess

My fierce passion, you cannot match
Your body from her bed I’ll snatch
Ravish you till I’ve had my fill
Might let you live or I might kill
FOR I’M THE WARRIOR PRINCESS

Eileen Manassian Ghali

You can never DEFINE a woman!

The warrior Princess is back! You are right a woman is impossible to capture with mere words. I applaude this attempt, you have certainly enticed and captured my mind in the process.

Yes...we woman must nurture the Warrior Princess in all of us. That poem was born out of a comment that a student made to me that I remind him of XENA! I'm no where like her, but it did give me a nice warm glow! Hugs!

Wowzer! Both superb writes!! A woman is a gift from God, she shares her life, love and bod ! Yet let her be savagely betrayed, the guy had better hope to ONLY BE flayed!

My Mother taught me well, to never underestimate a woman's ferocity or her sensitivity. I do not try to define women, I just do my best to love them Eileen. You battle hard, a worthy opponent for sure. " Yes, he may think my heart is won, but can you hold the bazing Sun..." Fantastic poetry! J.A.B.

Loving them is best, Justin. No matter how ferocious and fierce a woman may appear to be, in her there is that need to be treated like a fragile and gentle flower. She decides which face to show...whichever one she does....she needs love.

Glad you enjoy your time, here, JS. Anonymous...it is not. We know a great deal about each other on this site. Some of my friends here are closer to my heart than my flesh and blood friends.

writing is my occupation and poetry is my curse. I feel fortunate to be able to write for a living, because it is incredibly easy...but the words won't leave me alone. I enjoy this room for the honest feedback which is difficult to find in a face to face setting. In here, it is practically anonymous.

Depends on what you're passionate about. I've see you about quite a lot as well...AND your poems are floating about. It seems you have plenty of time as well. Think the Man upstairs knows what he is doing. Thanks for the visit.
