I am Magnificent I am soft sensuality The uncontainable mist whirling, twirling seductively through the dreams of sleeping men I am what you ache to hold if only for a frozen moment in time I am your fantasy Your reality The object of your desire Subjected to your lust Inconceivably beautiful Coveted beyond comprehension I am eye candy mind candy I am vanilla drops In chocolate skies Marshmallow clouds Over coconut beaches The drink of life For a parched throat I am a cloud on your tongue to be savored fleetingly I am poetry in motion I am the tears of ink flowing from the poet's quill I am written in indelible ink on the pages of the universe I wax poetic I am of inhuman strength and boundless love I have been probed stretched achingly open for, I am the bearer of children I am independently needful I am the cry in the dark The protector to be protected I am the helpless prey and the sly hunter I am intelligent intellectual philosophical I am cultured, refined, wanton brazen An exquisitely cut diamond with rough edges I am a face with many names A name with many faces I am an enigma I am Woman I am Magnificent |

So very true. Brava for a feminist piece without the all-too-common attacking undertones. |

thanks for reading though, it's not so much a "feminist" piece, as just feminine. I don't believe that men are our problem, as women. I believe we are our own problem -- and sometimes we just need a reminder of how wonderfully beautiful we are, no matter what kind of package we come in. We need to believe in ourselves regardless of what the media, which is comprised of men and women, may think of us. |
