woman has eyes which tighten
soft muscles that clench
she is as encompassing as a nugget smooth
unpretentious beneath a current of tête-à-tête
thighs and soft breasts bear
burden of woman
she laughs rowdily from deep within
with a nod and a wink
but located within herself is a girl
who still thinks of herself
as a naiveté
who cast her eyes demurely
but taken as a whole
she is a complete woman
as spicy as a dash of curry
multifariously sweet as honey

she is a live bomb ready to detonate
or a precious rose ready to flourish

I don't think I have heard the fairer sex described in so many unique ways. I enjoyed the read. Being a woman myself, I took the discriptions in a compimentary fashion

As well you should have taken the poem as complementary. That was my intent. Thank you Lori, for continuing to support my writing.

nice 'write!' ...

I especially liked that descriptor:

"spicy as a dash of curry
  multifariously sweet as honey"
