An angel to behold
Beauty in simplicity of movement
Compels hearts to fall aflutter,
Docile and domestic creature
Everything but no one-
For Heaven's Sake
Give him a smile girl!
Happiness does the body good
If only saved for him-
Join his antics with ease
Kiss his feet,
Love his bitter edges unconditionally
Maybe he'll return the favor-
Never question the ideals
Outbursts are frowned upon
Praise his every move
Quiet your voice and spirit,
Raise him high
Servitude is your only goal-
Temptation is not yours
Unheard of desires in woman!
Voices break upon glass ceiling
Womankind must bend-
Xeno loves the only hope ahead
Your expectations be dashed!
Zestful future no more only maid's work.

Never let him see or know the truth--he's not in control & you are not his possession.
Lovely poetry, Katrina!
