Women cleanse the Earth with their tears

The woman wails/ into the night/ loathsome travail/ no end in sight/ Dark muted screams/ exhaustion's spawn/ nightmare her dreams/ elusive dawn/ Pushing, she stands/ Shoulders erect/ Raise up your hands/ She's not done yet/ The woman wails/ into the night/ loathsome travail/ But still she fights/ The woman wails/ into the night/ loathsome travail/ But still, she fights!

I've always thought that it would be a nice change if women were "in charge" of world politics for a change. A meaningful sharing, Shirley. Thank you. Welcome to AD. Love and best wishes,

New Poetry by Shirley Beauty Houston

Some relationships are predestined

Forever

A woman is made weak by her lover''s touch

You are Powerful

From failure there is redemption

Phoenix

The rhythm of the ocean and serenity of solitude reminds me of the importance of celebrating the craft of poetry for its own sake

Freedom

A woman declares her independence after years of living the life someone else chose for her

Free

Releasing poetry into the atmosphere through the spoken word allows it to permeate the ear, eyes and soul of the audience. I spit it real!

I am Beauty
