I am enigma
the purest of fantasy
the core, the center
of every mans dream;
I know the secrets
to each woman’s desires
I am cold as ice
yet burn with fire.

I can be completely frustrating
on the verge of complication.
In the same breath spoken, as gentle
I too, am total domination.

I am lady
I am friend
I say my prayers
I curse like men

I am afraid of none
but not always strong
I rage like storm
I am autumn’s song
I am embarrassed
I am not shy
I'll leave you in love
left only with why's.

I am both hated
and loved by men
I am mystery
I am, woman.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

Well...WOMAN....you are right on all counts,
particularly the woman part....  What would
us guys do if we didn't?...never mind....

My muse seems to be leading me down a different path right now Barry....not sure where all that came from, just that it arrived so I wrote it.  Thanks hon.  Hugs.

It's not difficult for me to explain nor is it a mystery that I love this piece

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Pressie, am so glad that you enjoyed this
thanks for stopping in.  

Kate, you make me smile and
I've still got those gods and
goddesses screamin at me..
I just havent been able
to understand what they are
trying to tell me yet  

Dixie, I'm so glad you enjoyed this,
and I'm happy to see you here again,
it makes me smile.

Amber my dear, I do thank you for that.

Dawud, it's nice to meet you,
welcome to Passions.
Your smile pleases me, thank you.

Thanks sweetie.  Hugs.

I loved the continuous contradictions you used to add to the complexity and confusion known as woman. Great effect and overall sound.

Ladydaughter,

you are the title, indeed.

[and I've witnessed
the functioning!]

Have I told you lately
how proud I am of you?
