A Woman

Embedded image from another site

Morning streams into my room
Sighing, I can still smell perfume
Thoughts awaken like indigo broom
Branching through my heightened senses
Bring smiles reminiscing and lightly scented

The night before was full of dreams
Visions of a lover and romance it seems
The picture of this idyllic man is very intense
I become deeply immersed in my sensual thought
If I dwell too long in this dream I become overwrought

In the cold nights of coming winter
Conjuring a lover to keep me warm simmer
Like a tree, a man sturdy with eyes that glimmer
Sadness of life when north winds blow and ice freezes
Brings me to places of soft warm summer days and breezes

Deeper I plunge into actually wanting
I’m awake stretching my mind and yawning
Tears begin, musing for this lover in my dawning
This is how a woman’s heart cries to be given to a man
And why a man should know the value of a heart and understand

As tears fill my eyes I rise up to leave
This room full of scents that makes me grieve
Still thinking of the lover and how skillfully I weave
Into existence a friend, a lover, sturdy and strong to be with me
A journey that joins hearts and dreams in beautiful precious reality

Fantastic poem, Jade,

Not only because it's great poetry, but these lines:

"Tears begin, musing for this lover in my dawning
This is how a woman’s heart cries to be given to a man
And why a man should know the value of a heart and understand"


-priceless lines- it would be a truly great thing if men realized this. There are wonderful, caring men around, but I think men (and women, too, esp. those who settle for being treated less) can all learn from this - and a great reminder for us all.

Love it, Jadite! rose rose rose

Should that longing ever leave us, live is over Jade.
I imagine "A Quiet Man" for you, John Wayne type.
