• The Weight of a Woman

  With silhouettes that could swallow the shadows of cathedrals and temples
  Gold plated facades, reflective of beauty's example
  A maticulous splendor of grandier
  Pillars for bones, a design construct of internal strength
  Thee dwelling within, still grander than thee external-extent
  From sands of time in Jerusalem long ago forgotten
  Enrobed from head to toe, in luxurious cottons
  To modern mothers still swaddling their children
  In tender enbraces, snug from manufactured linens
  Women.
  Whose wide naieve eyes often mistaken for observable weakness
  When honesty in relativity is the truth that they see
  They are the maidens of meaning
  The dancers of life's rythmic breathing
  And on the wind they sing meditations of sensuality and feeling
  Those whom hear their cries, dare not believe satisfaction is fleeting
  For signifigance, they teach - is everpresent
  With a look, a glance
  Effortlessly she resembles an internal incandescence
  Beyond the bossom of comfort, through lips stained apple red
  They share stories of soul and heart, such tales with no end
  Their voices soothe like a melodic overture to a silent eve
  Whose carresses of tenderness find much needed relief
  The fragrance of a woman envelops any room
  Evoking a man's senses, once thought to be removed
  Skin like kashmere, silken hair and cheeks a-flush
  With flawless elegance, a woman's presence felt, so lush
  The world is the stage they stand upon, under the crimson lights
  Performance reviewed and critiqued upon resounding sound and sight
  Such weights of expectancy bear their shoulders, strong
  Of to either flow with the tide or be swept along
  Queens of Islam stoned alive, for deviating from the plight
  In their last breaths of compassion, they exepmlify their might
  Not bearing ill will, with an understanding grant of amnesty
  Holding true
  Her labours of love- a true monarch to a family
  Repeated musings of art and culture, a beauty that stands trial
  Cryptic constellations captured in Mona Lisa's smile 
  Goddesses, Paraohs and Queens
  Powers' living flesh, stain the pages of history
  Women
  Life's trapeze artists of duality
  Maintaining balance in strength and elegance
  The weight of a woman is beared gracefully
