It’s a backward woman just like me
who seeks to be a gypsy queen
and twirl and whirl unmindful of
the flames of enduring love.

She wants to forward go and stay
in the field of all she is today
open to the stars, the sky,
and clothed in her love of you.

But a backward woman can’t discern
how drapes a love o’er human form
and whether it would suit or not
the curves that were but now are not.

It’s a backward woman just like me
who wants to live amongst the stars
and yet be on the ground entwined
in the tendrils of true love.

But backward women just like me
can’t foresee how this can be
when he who loves remains behind
and holds the reins tight, tighter still,
to forestall her wish to twirl and whirl.

Backward woman, tut-tut-tut,
‘tis just a case of sheer back luck
that forces on one such as her
the flames of enduring love!

Hi Arctic Wind. Good to "see" you here. Thanks for the read.

BC - Thank you. So glad you enjoyed. I guess "backward" is just one of the aspects that contributes to the whole.
