Choose First

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She never cared about her own life

she put everyone first, choosing all

the wrong men to quench her thirst.

 

She was born to please, attached

with a curse, she would never find

true love, the meaning adverse.

 

She dreamed of a love so refreshing

so real, caught up in the moment

for a man so genteel.

 

Used and abused for her sexual

deeds, she bows her head down

and finally concedes.

 

I want a life, she shouted, where

true love resides, cascading waterfalls

and carnival rides.

 

Kissing with passion caressing with

devotion all I ask for is some kind of

emotion…

so powerful...great flow..i can feel the yearning in the 5th stanza

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes woman need to be told they are more then something to use and abuse. Each of us want to know the real passion of the sweet kiss and holding on when the night is cold. A powerful poem. I believe life is simple. Kindness and gesture of love is needed to balance a true love. A powerful poem. You made me think.

i love the picture cuz thats what i envisioned when i was reading that the girl is naked and lonely just wanting something real and i think its in all women to want to nurture something whether it be a man or flowers its in us to naturally do this poem is raw n real but a reality for some women...
