I am a Woman
by Amy I. Ramdass

Sunday, April 16, 2006
Not rated by the Author.



For women everywhere.

I am a Woman

A pretty flower
To decorate the hour
An unwanted daughter
To the sacrificial slaughter
Nature’s Enchantress
To be eventually suppressed

A gift to her brother
Part slave, part-time mother
A heavenly console
Holding hell in control
Angelic balancing act
Sister to be exact

A plaything, a mere toy
To be taken apart or enjoyed
A ripened fruit of gold
A sweet dish served hot or cold
Sky’s mistress or Earth’s wife
Yet another role of life

To give birth to all
Mother Gaia’s call
Supreme Creatress
Of reality and dreams
Ultimate comfortress
Protectress in extremes

From the depths of the core
A yearning desire to be more
Daughter, sister, wife, mother
One major role after another
Originally cut out to be… simply me
Woman, goddess…phenomenally

To be or not to be
A Woman I am…phenomenally

 

return of the goddess

Dear Amy;

Well done, indeed! It not only expresses the universality of woman, but also great dignity, confidence, and self-awareness of spirit.

Great tribute to women the world over, I enjoyed this poem a great deal, I like that you identfied woman as universal, as she is. I immediately thought of a poem of mine while reading..

Eve

I cry these tears, in fear
for the souls that are unborn.
The many souls unformed, unfolded
I’ll cry Eve, forever to mourn.
Born of she, we come forth,
flowering parceled strips of land.
Passing her ripened seed,
on the wings of wind,
traversing the backs
of each tiny rain drop.
Eve’s fertile seeds effortless flight,
setting down on each continent.
Touching mankind, unknown before time,
she the quintessence of woman.

Keep writing Amy you have an immense talent

This is a very powerful write. I have written something similar I think..but this is just so well done.
Reviewed by William DeVault 5/5/2006
A reminder that 'woman' is a badge of honor, a title of power, a position of grace that a man can only hope to touch, to be worthy of notice by. Beautiful, empowering words.

WOW ISNT IT SO GOOD TO BE A WOMAN AND THIS I SEE YOU APPRECIATE AS WE ALL SHOULD THAT IS WHY WOMEN SHOULD BE WOMEN AND NOT MEN. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY MUST BE WHAT THEY ARE NOT. WE ARE UCH BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AS YOU MENTIONED AND I WILL ALWAY CONTINUE TO BE WHO GOD MADE ME. THIS WAS AND I EXCELLENT FOR ALL REAL WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD. SOME THINGS ARE JUST MEANT FOR US (WOMEN)

A most enjoyable and unusual read.
Love the rhyme and flow as you tell the life story.

The light of men would never reach full brilliance without the light of women and I believe that the opposite is true as well. We are different but equal in every way. We truly need each other in order to fulfill our mission as part of Creation. Let us all take refuge in one another, in a true and fervent love.

Love & Light,
Joseph

woman is a beautiful one to be - nice expression in this piece
Reviewed by Felix Perry 4/17/2006
This is truly a "phenominal" work. You have captured women through out the ages, the worst of what man has done to them and the best. The rise of women to equality shines through. This is a great work of art dear friend and a good statement.

Reviewed by Candy T 4/17/2006
nothing can surpass the discovery of what it really means to be a woman. we, who have been taught to dilute our strength in order to accommodate the weakness that is man. at last we give ourselves permission to be what we really are: extraordinary. love this piece, thank you.
