My irresistible presence
Confounds you to mistakes
My immortal essence
Plagues your passions so
I burn into your soul
Hot like liquid fire
I’m etched onto your mind
It’s my physical pull on you
I am the modern woman
Watch!
I am a free spirit
I walk with a song in my body
I talk in sweet melodious tones
I leave your mind and heart in a split
I am a free spirit
You cannot hold me
I’m too clever for that
You have nothing that I want
Except your true respect
I am the modern woman
I’m cool and confident
I’m smart, intelligent
I have my own big dreams
You want to rule me, you better walk on
Give me some respect, and we can be friends
I am the modern woman.
Beautiful! You have just described me. I AM the modern woman (for better or worse...).
ReplyDeleteI know you are, Maya! :-)
ReplyDeleteone thing i like about poetry is the limitless space it gives the poet to reach whatever spheres or depths and assume whatever shapes or forms!

I agree Novisi, the endless elasticity of creation and meaning confounds my simple mind!
