Men And She Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

She's so beautiful as if everything shines through
As if everything goes well about her
Her beauty overwhelms all cold and hot conditions
She walks with reflexive beauty bling
Blinding eyes and shredding hearts in the surrounding
Men's stomachs churning in response to the presence of the mermaid

Too much beauty radiating from the sunset
Melting hearts and render the rock hard knees groggery
Daring muscularity defy the brilliance of the golden globe
On the verge of drowning in the sea
In want of plucking the bloom

Her confidence shield taken away
Living her barely true to herself and real
Clear head, cool stomach, and the blind shield flown away
Like it never was

Man, the aftermath of daredevil, ecstatic
Now he can see far away in the heart with disbelieve
Man's blind eyes, pliant heart, and stupid mind
Dancing on the hard ground,
Causing big surprise and disquiet in the surrounding

Not much to brag about except wonder
How the flies like to hover around her and sing
But shying away from touching her
As if she's honey in want of fly trap
But innocent and secretly lonesome

Her beauty radiating bright from the heart out
Ecstasy amplified by her kind
Outstripping the tallest trees only to sag in the lonesome moments
Naivety cause of disquiet in the heart and mind
Mind waving in and out of the clouds
Wishing for the torrential rain to outstrip the winter season
