Women Poems

Beautiful face
That like a daisy opens its petals to the sun
So do you
Open your face to me as I turn the page.
...

A woman waits for me- she contains all, nothing is lacking,
Yet all were lacking, if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the
right man were lacking.
...

I used to think nurses
Were women,
I used to think police
Were men,
...

GIVE me women, wine, and snuff
Untill I cry out "hold, enough!"
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection:
...

Women sit, or move to and fro- some old,
some young;
...

You call yourself a man,
For all you used to swear,
An' leave me, as you can,
My certain shame to bear?
...

When the moon was full they came to the water.
some with pitchforks, some with rakes,
some with sieves and ladles,
and one with a silver cup.
...

A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted
Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion;
...

Love is sharper than stones or sticks;
Lone as the sea, and deeper blue;
Loud in the night as a clock that ticks;
Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew.
...

A certain yaksha who had been negligent in the execution of his own duties,
on account of a curse from his master which was to be endured for a year and
which was onerous as it separated him from his beloved, made his residence
among the hermitages of Ramagiri, whose waters were blessed by the bathing
...

The Dawn! The Dawn! The crimson-tinted, comes
Out of the low still skies, over the hills,
Manhattan's roofs and spires and cheerless domes!
The Dawn! My spirit to its spirit thrills.
...

She begins, and my grandmother joins her.
Mother and daughter sing like young girls.
If my father were alive, he would play
his accordion and sway like a boat.
...

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
...

There is always something to be made of pain.
Your mother knits.
She turns out scarves in every shade of red.
They were for Christmas, and they kept you warm
...

It rests me to be among beautiful women
Why should one always lie about such matters?
I repeat:
It rests me to converse with beautiful women
...

I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell
me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of
thousands of men.
...

A strong woman works out every day,
Pride in her appearance she portrays,
But a woman of strength kneels to pray,
Her soul in shape, God leading the way.
...

The laughter of women sets fire
to the Halls of Injustice
and the false evidence burns
to a beautiful white lightness
...

Woman, Femme
Mujer, Mama

'Oh, dear with best thighs, heart-stealing is this environ with abundantly grown stacks of rice and their cobs, or with sugarcane, and it is reverberated with the screeches of ruddy gees that abide hither and thither... now heightened will be passion, thereby this season will be gladdening for lusty womenfolk, hence listen of this season, called Shishira, the Winter...

'At this time, people enjoy abiding in the medial places of their residences, whose ventilators are blockaded for the passage of chilly air, and at fireplaces, in sunrays, with heavy clothing, and along with mature women of age, for they too will be passionately steamy...

Would it be okay to say I don't want to hide behind a man? Would it be okay to say I feel challenged when a woman is degraded everytime a man is being praised? What is it about women that makes society condemn us so much? Is it because our fellow women gave up their power and subjected themselves to slavery from men? Or should I remind you that tolerating disrespect is also a state of emotional and mental slavery? Who did this to women? Who silenced women so much to give them an option to choose from life, relationships, marriages, careers and goals. Why is a man granted freedom yet a woman is restrained? Why are women expected to keep accepting manipulations from an excuse called gender roles? Why should a man grow to think and believe he has control over a woman? Some will say it's because he's the head yet they pretend to forget such logic has subdued a lot of men that lacks the will power of a man to act as monsters towards women just so they'd taste the bliss promised by a society that's too daft to call them out for accountability when such injustice is witnessed. If so, why can't we just focus on masculinity and femininity by allowing both genders coexist together without being seen as a threat, challenge or another reason for a power play charade? When will this stop? When will women be trusted with the freedom to be both masculine and feminine without being seen as too wild, rude, not a wife material, disrespectful or a bad woman? When will the character of a woman stop being judged by society and it's expectations? When will it stop? The world is evolving but no one cares about the pressure y'all place on a woman. Shouldn't she have the life she desires just because she's a woman? Shouldn't she pursue her goals or don't she have the right to dream just because she's supposed to breed kids for y'all? Just because our mothers represents women in a way you deem fit does it mean women shouldn't think or wish for a life that's different from the concept you grasp? Mind you, we're not our mothers and we saw tears and pleas not to live a life like theirs. We heard prayers not to marry husbands like theirs yet you expect me to settle for the deceit to belive I can be nothing more than a woman, a mother and a wife? you expect me to accept that hard work and accolades are expected more from a man yet the achievements of a woman is supported by a man? How cynical can you be? Why should society decide how I should live and behave? And why fish for imperfections in us yet praise a man with clear flaws? Just because you see men as your redemption to a better life so you protect them? Selfish no? Before being a woman we're all humans and the creator has given us freedom to think and act differently because we're different so as a human why should I be seen only as a woman?
...

Women are created in the image of God just as men are
Females are seen by Jesus as genuine persons
Not simply as the objects of male desire
Every family has disagreements, conflicts
...

They swore and they lied
Women's rights are tied
To our weak democracy
To our inevitable legacy
...

Women always at the apex of attention
woman always the center of affection
women always seeking love
woman always offering care

Are you sick and tired of not getting your way whenever you want?
Do people have the nerve to treat you like a normal member of society?

I follow strong women
Women who are conscious
Women who are defiant
Women who are gay
