WORK OF ART

Poem Body

Woman -
You are so damn incredible,
I wish you can see
Just how much you mean to me...

Woman...

You are a piece of work,
A masterpiece, a work of art;
The way you work a skirt,
How you whisper in the dark;
It ignites candlelights of desire
Deep within this man's heart
And I want to share that fire
Experience why you are such a work of art.

Woman...

The Mona Lisa, Fifteen Synphony
Nor can the Sixteenth Chapel compare,
The taste of your lips or my memory
Of the refinery of your touch and stare;
It moves me each time I call you my wife
And partake in this date with destiny;
You are the work of art in my life,
Beautiful Black woman, you're the best to see.

Woman,
Your skin so pretty and dark,
Your kiss so precious stole my heart:
... such a work of art.

Woman,
Your body by far the most fine,
Your eyes seem too very divine;
... such a work of art.

Woman,
Your soul is just pure,
Your mind is really secure;
... such a work of art.

The way you treat me like a king,
Woman you are my everything;
You have all of me each part by part,
Because you are such a work of art.

not love.
All women I know are tired of the choice they are not given, made into either "damned whores or gods police".
I suggest you read this aloud to a woman and ask how she feels.

Hi Lamar,

I'm a woman the last time I looked...and I feel Weidelf is being too harsh (as usual).

I can feel the affection in this piece. It is a little predictable in it's imagery but it's heartfelt. Not brittle. Wish the men in my life could write anything like this...I know my hubby loves & fancies me and he shows it with cups of tea (It's a Brit-thing!) LOL
