What is a woman?
by Anniekate
Age Group: Adult
What is a woman
And what makes you think you understand one?
They are a mystery
Before the supposedly perfect woman
There was Lilith
Not a slave
Nor obedient to a man
Nor a god either
Morgan le Fay
Destroyed a kingdom
Witch and whore
Legends and lies
Created by a short sighted male species
She is your mother
Your sister
Your aunt, grandmother
Lover
Friend
Destroy her and she will rise again
Like a warrior of old
A phoenix out of hell
Burn her
Look at her lying dormant
Under the layer of ash
Or is she?
She comes up better than before
Stronger
Powerful
Cross her
Suffer a woman’s wrath
Cherish her
She will be your soul mate forever
Please her
And she will give back more than you give
Love her
She will remain at your side
‘Til the day you die
Love her as a woman
Not a slut
She will brag of you
To everyone she knows
Her friends, jealous
But a man does not understand a woman
He is unable to comprehend
Her magic
The seductive way in which she moves
And speaks
The healing power of her warmth
No, a man does not understand
Never will
Until he walks in her path
Won’t appreciate her
Until he can bear her children
Won’t know the depths of her love
Until he can be by her side in sickness
In health
In death
Won’t understand her soul
Unless he loves like she does
What man truly knows a woman?
No man
Face her Creator
Only then will you understand
And grieve
For not being human enough
To make the attempt to know her
Why you lost her to another more willing to learn
Who had the capacity
Willing to sacrifice the ancient, perverse vision of woman
To worship at her altar
To know what she really is
Goddess
Partner
Not inferior
Perfect compliment to a man
His other half of his heart
His spirit
For woman was taken out of man
In the very beginning
Not to be a slave
Treated as less than man
Her feminine mystique robbed
To serve her master
To bear his sons
May such a man
Be forever annihilated
By woman
And her daughters
She is to be treasured
More valuable and priceless
Than any kingdom
Gold, silver or fleeting power
What man would be willing to do this?
Would he lay down his life for her?
Would he revere her?
Trust, respect
Live with her as his equal?
Know that he cannot rule without her?
No, man does not know
Only another woman truly understands
Woman
Author's Notes: I wrote this one after dealing with an especially difficult member of the male species who felt women had their place...and not in a place that would bring honor to a woman, but degrade her. I needed to write what I felt a woman was and was not.
