Woman's Manual: What She Wants From You Man Poem by mukami mbaabu

Dear man,
I thought I should make your work easier,
And save you from further heart breaks, and confusion…..
By telling you how a woman wants to be treated….…
Because maybe, when you know what I want….
You might as well, get yourself a new lease to love, bliss and happiness

You will treat me like a queen, because iam one,
You will love me with passion, because I don’t take less
You will respect me, because I will always return in kind
You will trust me, because I will be true to you
You will be faithful to me, or else I will find out….
You will listen to me, because iam wise
You will take my nagging, because there’s a kitten in me somewhere
You will accommodate my mood swings, because I cant help it

You will forgive me when am wrong, because I will apologize when I hurt you
You will learn to say sorry, excuse me, thank you, may i……
You will be honest and transparent, because we cant thrive without
You will provide for me, not because I cant do it for myself, But because I want to ignite your male-ego
You will believe in me, because I can, and I will
You will make me feel important to you, because iam…
You will give me freedom to be myself, because am a butterfly
My colours only shine bright, when am let free to roam

Iam a queen, beautiful, regal and majestic
All intelligent, confident and aware of the power I possess,
And you, your highness, are my king,
And I would crown you every day,
And bear you children,
And be radiant for you,
And submit to you,
And make a home for you…………

If only you would love me as much as I do you,
If only……you would make me your confidant,
And spoil me till I forget my maiden name,
If only, you would treat me like the kitten iam, when I change into one
And listen to me, when I am deep as a fountain,
And show me off, when I am radiant like the wild lily
And hold me, when am scared,
And whisper those words of love, when I need reassurance,
And not dismiss me, when I try to reason with you

If only, you would always speak your mind…and not assume that I know what troubles your soul,
Or speculate, then hope that I understand you,
If only you would speak, for when you go quiet,
We hit a dead end.
If only you would STOP trying to UNDERSTAND me….
For neither can I understand myself.

Yes, yes, you are right…iam complicated, very very complicated
I know that….but so do you….
So live with it…for that’s how am crafted

Now that you know, what I want….
My prince, the burden, has been lightened for you…
I will give you my best….
But so must you….
If you blow the chance…..remember this is the evidence….
A point of reference….
But make sure it’s not too late when you realize what you must do…
Because…just outside the gate….more hopefuls….hail on…
Waiting for you blotch things up….
So they can take your place…
In treating this woman…as she ought to be treated.

You must always remember….
That if you don’t treat me right….someone else will..
Because if I wasn’t a woman….
Mmmh I know what I would have been, a flower….or lady bird…or a pearl…
Beautiful…costly, delicate……and very rare
So keep me treasured….in the safest place…. in your heart….
Yes tie me around your neck…
So that you can feel my heart beat against yours…
Wherever your feet, time, or distance take you…
And I will always cling back……
