women



women have my heart

a woman has a voice that is smooth like honey

it drips down from soft lips above me

a woman has skin that is soft like rose petals

and nails that dig into my own like thorns

a woman has hair that shines in the sunlight

and hangs down over me during the dark night

a woman has eyes that are pure like the angels’

but if I look closely I can nearly see horns
