Woman

Woman

A Poem by The Iron Horseman
"

A poem about what a woman is...

"


A mystery shrouded in mists,

A paradox without parallel,

A lister with too many lists,

An angel who may give you hell.


A harmony sublime,

A dream within a wish,

Ageless, out of time,

A devil who grants you bliss.


Softer than a blushing dawn,

With a strength as tough as steel,

Gentle as a newborn fawn,

Her kisses soothe and heal.


Fire and ice,

Iron and water,

Mother, sister,

Wife and daughter.


All good things from the woman flow,

Love, tenderness and even life,

Her beauty can make the flowers grow,

Her wisdom brings the light.


An enigma within a cloud,

A tear atop a smile,

A glance that sets your heart on fire,

An accuser who puts you on trial.


A woman is all these things,

These and many more,

You may know her for a lifetime,

And never figure out the score.


Just be grateful that you loved her,

And that she loved you in return,

Many never know her blessing,

And are doomed forever to yearn.

I think you nailed it. Women truly are an enigma. We never quite figure them out. Hot and cold at the same time.
We love them all the same and are glad they grace our lives.
This writing flows off the page and into my ears and mind so smoothly. It's like sweet cream on a doughnut.

This I think is one of your best poems, and I especially like last 3 stanzas-- oh, the eternal male-female dance!

No probem.
My goodness! I'm feelin' like I'm all that, being a woman and all...

This was well constructed and the opposites are perfectly placed and rhymed.

Well done.

Thank you. This poem is my personal favourite, so I am glad you enjoyed it.
You have a very appealing style: great command over the words to fulfil your direction :) love the pace, the ease with which each thought provoking message/story is delivered...you seem to know just what you want to say, and how to say it in a fabulous way. Cheers

Thanks again!
You've actually put in everything one could about a woman. This poem is truly outstanding!

A mystery shrouded in mists,
A paradox without parallel,
A lister with too many lists,
An angel who may give you hell.

I love this! Really well done! :)

Many thanks. They do make life worthwhile, don't they?
