Woman



Once I was virtuous, Woman! girl meet boy? no longer virtue but running down my legs the milky way that carried my virgin self away.

I am no longer searching for a you, I know you can smell what I swore to the other Woman! What I wouldn't tell, secrets and lies all because of what lies between, my weary thighs?

That thing that drives them wild, well I am worth more than that, I say it with a smile, when I move, I know it soothes your satisfaction, it nurtures a natural attraction because I am Woman!

You can only reach the surface, but the beauty of my motion runs deep, to the inner of my heartbeat, the sexiness of my mind, I don't mind telling you I am Woman Kind.

I knew you were watching but you did not know what I was thinking, you thought the eye contact was to attract because I am Woman.

You never picked up on the look because it came from the book of a thought that never crossed your mind.   

Love is not the only thing that is blind. I am reading you and seeing you undress my Womanhood until I speak, and you finally see that beauty you behold is not all of me.

You then begin to look for the way out because you thought I was easy prey, as you sweat, I drop my intellect that draws from you, deserved respect.

It was not what I said to you but how I said it that made you realize this is a Woman!
