Ode to Female Nature

Embrace the beauty of women, in a wholly natural way.

The mystical, but ineffable portrayal of her face

Was one to be remembered eternally in my soul

For had I not taken back my steps towards her place

I would have not concluded my goal.

 

La femme cependant de sa bouche de fraise,

En se tordant ainsi qu’un serpent sur la braise,

Is but a metonymic portrayal of her beauty,

To which the nine circles of hell cannot attribute cruelty.

 

Yet writers such as Wordsworth and Blake admire her nature,

But she remains unaware that her wholeness is my rapture.

She is the apple of Eden

Yet this enjambment does but weaken

As my love to her embellishes, replenishes, fulfils, ills.

 

The apex of renaissance has claimed to have never acquired Romantics

I perhaps believe it is time to conspire Semantics

As I lay upon her silky skin the Dramatics

Or maybe perhaps Adorno’s Dialectics.

 

Whether this be an ode to her existence

Or a preservation of my insistence,

I will forever believe she had me from birth

Her love is nothing but a beautiful curse.

"Her love is nothing but a beautiful curse" is an excellent conclusion ! The story is filled with imagery, suspense and dark beauty which is an amazing combination..maybe you are influenced by Poes obscureness as I read it, it reminded me of him ! Keep it going, Victor, you are on the right track!

All the great writers wrote of woman. None told lies and told us they understood them.
"I will forever believe she had me from birth
Her love is nothing but a beautiful curse."
The above lines are true. Love is a blessing and a curse. I have written a thousand poems for the pleasure and the disappointment of love. I believe we need women more than they need us. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

The last verse got me. Seriously got me. No, line 19 is not redundant, but beautifully iterates the undying pursuit of love. "Her love is nothing but a beautiful curse" Ahhh.... so certainly it is. Yes.

After all the great reviews here I'm not sure what more I can say, other than I enjoyed it. You're very talented.

[Rod Dangers]

Very much enjoyed the rhythm of this piece, it felt a little like a train...starting at a steady pace then speeding up in my mind. Well penned.

[Tam Warink]

An ode has form that lies within and yet these silky words are full of sin. But most of all it exposes a cloth from which is made a sewn moth; a ragged, jagged escapade of female traits that often fade.
