Woman Poem by Astell Collins

Woman
God’s generosity to man
You are divinity
The essence of our humanity
Your emotional intelligence is superior
And your threshold for pain is inconceivably greater
Chosen as the vessel that transports life from eternity into time
You possess the wisdom to reason and the sense to make up your mind
The magnificence of your beauty bewilders me
For I am your sunshine and your shadow simultaneously
You are my weakness as much as you empower me
Even for my bondages you possess the key
Your love liberates me as it imprisons my attention
Because of you I experience ecstasy in a realm without dimension
I am enlightened by the lessons of your sensitivity
And humbled by the sacredness of your sensuality
Your elegance intoxicates
Your splendour motivates
I am enslaved by your grace and finesse
And seduced by your gentle caress
Your charm mystifies me with enchantment
Rendering me helpless with endless wonderment
Your sophistication captivates
It enthralls, it fascinates
I am blessed with eyes to behold your radiance
My heart pulses acceptance
You are kind, caring and forgiving
Gentle, loving and understanding
This is a tribute to your femininity
It praises your strength, your essence, your divinity
Woman thou art Wonderful Opulent Magnificent Anointed Nurturing
