WHAT A WOMAN WANTS

Don't treat me like a man.
I know that's what you think,
that we want to wear pants
and be the boss,
thinking we can do it all.
We can, you know.

I don't want
to be treated like a man,
I am nothing like a man.
I am soft, rounded, more gentle.

I have a far greater chance
of appreciating beauty,
hearing the music in poetry,
yet I have the ability
to analyze you with the scrutiny
of a microscope.

Treat me like a lady,
but don't assume in your arrogance
that it makes me less able,
less strong,less respectable.
I am smaller in stature,
but my mind alone is equal
to the sum of all your parts!

And keep your pants
to yourself.
I'd no sooner wear them
than you would
a brassiere.

A planter of freedom-
I've buried oppression
In my underground breast
So liberation can overshadow
My pain and despair

Feminine Woman
Hair like silk
Tied with a bow
Skin soft as satin
Touched with a glow
Lips full and glossed
Tempting to be kissed
Voluptuous
