Brenda Atry Poet Free verse

Woman, the I Am

I am the woman.
I am the only woman.
I am the one woman.
My name is Women.
I nurse nations at my breast.
Ripened bosoms set loins afire.
Life spews forth from my 
parted thighs.
Astride they clamp and drain 
desire.
 Lips, that part as seas once 
did,
Guiding  the yearning with 
silent voice.
Plump and moist, they quench 
the arid 
Voices singing their grateful 
rejoice.
My blood flows red, and rich, 
and warm.
Tears stream rivulets borne of 
joy and sorrow.
A rib once lost, hath given no 
reason to mourn
 I am perfected, I will lead all 
tomorrow.
Woman, is my name.
Woman, I am the one.
Woman, I am the only one.
Woman, the  I am.
