Power of a Woman (Inspired by Paladin) Don’t take a woman’s mind for naught Don’t take heart in jest To her demands give serious thought For she decieves the best She’ll treat your soul like royalty Emracing your desires You’ll float along in revalry No heed to what she sires Beware all sailors of the ark Don’t treat her with neglect For every time that you embark Is cause to circumspect She beckons with desirous eye To delve into her soul And you so readily comply In glory she extols Caressing you with gentlness In warming ocean streams Rocking you ‘neath starry bliss Fullfilling seaman’s dreams Slapping waves upon your bow Ripping at your side Until the fear of death has eaten Soul and heart and pride She shrouds you in a bliding mist Entrapping who you are And all you visioned to exist Remains on shores afar Each vessel daring woman’s power That sails from off Cape Cod Be mindful that beneath the flower There lies the hand of God Elizabeth Santos |

Yes how many women have told me that they want me to like them for their mind and their personality...and not their body...listen up sailors...for this is the power of a woman...James |

Thank you for your comments. You know, a poem can be read in any context that fits your heart. And this must be very ambiguous. I was simply writing about the sea, in one big metaphor, but I guess you could apply it to women also. Watch out for those dangerous flowers, you sailor guys! We'll wrap you in mist! Hey, not a bad thought Liz |
