Fortitudes of Woman
I am grander than you know
Larger than you assume
I am humble, but you have underestimated this too.
I am quite, not because, I have no words
But what I need to say, cannot be spoken,
I have tried.
But my passion was seen as weakness
My nobility as stuckupness
I have been misunderstood
But I do not blame you
What are you to know;
That my power lies in what you cannot control
Yet try to mould.
Try and bondage me
You begin with my feet
Paint my eyes,
Numb my mind
Buy your beauty here,
It is free
Just give me your sanctity
Give me the reality; that tells you that you will be pleased.
.
Listen to me,
I am MAN
HU-MAN
You are WO-man
You are ME
Made from my ribs,
I allow you to live
In pretty gowns
Pretty in Pink
Pretty for you
Cover yourself, I may take you.
Have you whole
Please myself
Sucking on your nectar
Digging into your cosmic well
Thrusting agonies of my own personal tale.
Until you let go
Until the dark space entails
That what exists is this
Not you.
Although I come through the portal you hold between your being
I tell you to kneel
Kneel to me WO-MAN
Swallow me whole,
As I have swallowed you.
.
You are a rhythm I am trying to tune
Your freedom lies in what I place in front of you
Choose wisely,
You have a knife to cut
A paint to brush
A pen to write
And a dress to untie
Choose wisely.
The prior three are also for me,
It is only the dress you truly own.
.
I dawned my best attire
Wrote myself into a slumber
Painted myself a masterpiece and cut myself a new door
I know your options but I want more,
I want you
To know my truth
Life is for the living
Woman or Man I stand to know
That the weakness you perceive,
Is only my growth
It was my silence that allowed you to believe, that the shadow you bespoke was an item I wished to retain
I stepped out from under your shadow
From under your gaze
The one who told me, I was second place.
I entered a blurry haze, a space with frequencies and opening gates
I found the moon,
Darkness swoons.
It is she who sets me ablaze
To the knowledge that was forbidden
That laid hidden
That I am the same as you.
.
You cannot tame, what is unafraid of your minute game
I do not need to believe your truth,
Masculine and feminine exists within the source
It is that which calls me home
That gives me the tools to inherit my throne,
Take my body if you will
But my mind is a kaleidoscope you can never unwind or unsee
The magnitudes of the spectrum is what sets me free
It is also because of this, you wish to chain me
With white ribbons of silk,
Your weakness is your simplicity,
Mine is my infinity
Sometimes it is hard to see
Especially when blind-folded and moulded to believe
Your penis is my goal
Your pleasure my aim
My no and my murmurs fall on death ears
And I abide to your come here.
I watch myself disappear
I see myself swallowed by the bed
Hear all the words that cannot be said
My whimpers forever in my head
I pick up my clothes
I walk to the door,
My virginity gone,
My understanding- on hold.
My womanhood- on the way.
I let the rain cleanse me
Watch it wipe me away
Dance out my aches
The pain stays
I create with it
When I find my mind
When I find you
The eternal love of life and form
That tells me these words
That gives me this strength
To say,
Although you took my body,
You did not leave me dead
You made me stronger instead.
You made me realise that my power and control
Lies in knowing I am whole
That I home, that I am true
Paradoxical in name,
My reality-my perception lies in what you can not claim.
WO-MAN…. WO-MAN…. WO-MAN….
What do you hear?
What do you see?
I hear the power of infinity
I see beauty
I see you and me
Staying silent will not set us free
Staying silent only allows our creativity to stay in the make-believe
Create with me
Create with us
The power of WO-MAN
Is the power of life
Stand tall
This is our fight
For without me there would be none of your kind
I am not blind,
I can see
The power of us together
Is power of better.
