Poetry: Remembering love

by Scott Rumsey

The innards of Women

By firesides, sipping pink

champagne, on beaches

in apartments, after

midnight I have searched

beyond your eyes

your greens, browns, and

your blues.

Your first stop

is the shoestore

your next is for th dress

Iknow why you eat chocolate

ice cream

and how you get nervous

when you're naked

before a man

I know how strong you are

when you're pushed too far

and how you beleived

when you loved, and destroyed

when you left

I've seen you faithful

and work hard for your love

and I've opened my back

door for you, when your man

was home asleep

You had a hole

in your soul

after one night stands

and your smile was brilliant

when you saw that on man

I've seen you climax

in thirty seconds flat

and how ntense it is

when we make it last.

I saw you give birth

hold your pride in your arms

and I've seen you suffer

with no help for your child.

We've had our fights

and our share of tough times.

But I still love through to

your body, soul and mind.
