Woman

Am I to you merely a face, a pose, a smile

Just a way to spend a pleasant while

A lovely swaying set of hips

A ruby red, wet, set of kissable lips

Perky breasts, slim waist, lithe long legs

A sex object for which a man begs

Do you even see me?

See the human being, the person I am and can be?

As a human I have a mind, a brain

Thoughts, dreams, needs; things to lose, to gain

Just like you I want a better life

I want my days exempt of strife

I want a career, a family, a home

A place of my own from whence I don’t need to roam

Yes, like you I have drives, urges

All people have hormone surges

This makes me neither more nor less than you

We are all intelligent animals escaped from nature’s zoo

Yes, I want a husband with which to share each day

A partner, an equal who listens to what I say

We will BOTH wear a ring, the symbol of our partnership

Side by side, supporting each other through every slip

I desire a man whom I can hold at night

Cuddle with, spoon with, make love with, occasionally fight

I want children to love, hold, protect, raise

Shelter from life’s vicissitudes, it’s shrouded haze

They, as I, can have your last name

I’ll cherish them all the same

Also I want a life of my own

One I can polish, sharpen, hone

I have more t0 give than support for your ego

If that’s all I am to you then please just go
