Short Womanhood Poems

Manhood exerts
Womanhood surrenders
Creature-hood demands...

Your eyes betray the
pain within your womanhood
to hide such beauty....

I am unable to comprehend
How your physical remnants were found
With a stately essence of womanhood
A mother’s end....

Babydoll shoes
in a split second clocking
the first mile of womanhood 
for a relative too close for comfort 
proximity is close enough...

I don’t know how many times I have to tell you—

My womanhood isn’t going to wear out. 

Because if it could—

You would have worn it out already....

So scared to peak…fears further grief
Lights, she dims, a glance so brief 
Womanhood stripped-callous thief
Dreams are dimmed, hopes attune
Cold marquee provides no relief
Her name stripped far too soon...

Four Things

Four things in any land must dwell, 
If it endures and prospers well:
One is manhood true and good;
One is noble womanhood;
One is child life, clean and bright;
And one an altar kept alight....

Veiled Vision


Imprisoned
she gazes
through history’s veil

alone

within
sweet truth
of her womanhood

Wow girl
I speak your soul
riding the winds
of intuitions
writing fiercely
flowing ambitions
womanhood embracing
sexually obsessing 
mindful not
of seasons raging
pen at hand
for me to see
your heart
ope with bleeding...

How
would you
have explained,
the red small stain
which came from your girl.
Only thirteen; too young?
Either way hurry to her,
she will not understand; prepare.
Let her calm down and turn her around,
womanhood doesn't come easy; father....

An Era races towards me
My age, likewise, advances to meet her
Womanhood!

An epoch is come to me
I am with child
The child of my beloved

My heart throbs in sheer delight
I am in the family way

Months sail hastily
Along with my protruding stomach
Motherhood is near!...

A Monoku - To Embrace Womanhood

WHEREFORE, A girl’s womanhood should not be negated by today's women desires for power that manifests privileges not given by God.

Rapturous youth and tranquil prime, 
Withered with a weird dream!
Her gray hair and lusterless skin,
Fading from her eyes a resplendent shine, 

Her flabby shriveled breast, 
She walks with waddling and antalgic gait.
Alas! It's dusk of her womanhood,
It's menopause! A hush in solitude!!...

She stood there
humiliated,
nearly naked
as a
stranger
touched her.
She was
searching for
something
she could not see,
she could not feel:
A silent killer,
a raper of
self-esteem,
identity,
womanhood. 
She endured it,
the pain,
the embarrassment,
because
her mother
had died
and she would
survive....

You are truly Charming
My Princess and Priceless Jewel.
I drank your beauty with my eyes 
and my heart became drunk with love. 
I desire you when I admire you.

You are an Epitome of Beauty 
alas, an Epitome of womanhood.
You are the Angel of my life.
Thank you for being mine.
I love you Always....

Your heart has awaken to find the sunrise of a new day

Your body responds anew to its warm rays

Your mind races to solve the challenge

Your soul knows the answer

Give in to your inspiration

Let the story inspire your dreams

Celebrate the gift

Reward your heart

Live in your womanhood

Be satisfied...

You stand before me as once I stood,
An Amazon of womanhood.
I cradle memory of all that means,
But only now within my dreams.
I stand before you stooped and slow
Wondering here which path to go.
Gone the courage to choose a way
Without a thought of price to pay.
Cautious now, no weapons drawn,
I step aside as you march on....

Almost
           a year
past
       and still I wonder

what it would be like
to
   have given you
your first taste
of womanhood.

                    Sometimes
I can still feel
                    the polite hairs
of your thighs
waving in
              my
eager fingertips.

Dream a dream
O' dream
              dream, dream
of clean lips....

This 30th of November, 
I can be dragged down by 
   men
that I loved. And they feel no guilty 
   I’m caged in maturity. 

A little girl tugs my fuchsia leg-split 
“Tear it or tear down”. 
     Fear 
of getting lost 
Neverland 
with a waggish Peter Pan 
  makes promises and never brings
or the world’s much like flame 
  in sin where men are hell king....

              To be a woman:
              Is to search your father's missing love in stranger's beds
              To live life scrambling for love
              Yet hating every moment of it
              To crave gentleness, yet run at the sight of it
              Such is womanhood,
              in its adequate inadequacy.

Young
beauty
on the cusp
of womanhood,
head in the clouds, dreams
in her eyes. She ponders
life - her life. Why was she born?
What will she become? Will she get
married? Will she have kids? She shrugs her 
shoulders and runs off to play with her friends.

For my granddaughter Hannah who just turned 12.

O' Woman ! 
You are not some Damsel in Distress ,
And Surely no less than an Empress . 
Never Let Patriarchy Wither your Madness, 
Isn't it Minute for all the Life and Gladness ?
The time has come to awaken the Inner Goddess in You, 
For the Audacity often comes out of the Blue. 
Now You are Stronger after Surviving that Storm, 
Unleash Your Inner Beast for now is the time to Perform....

when i call you the sun that shine in day
when i call the apple of eyes
when i call ou an epitome of beauty 
a symbol of womanhood

it is all trace back to the 
garden of eden where
adam's met eve there the blues 
started.

Through the monthly pains,
Despite the hassles of childbirth,
Yet,you were stoic,
You brought me to life!
In bringing me up,you worked tirelessly.
You placed your dutiful hands to acts,
To make ends meet.
You inculcated in me,the virtue,truthfulness.
You implanted in me,the stand of a virtuous woman;
The worth of womanhood.
Momma,you're my earth,my sun and my rains.
Keep my Momma,oh Lord!...
