Petals

I was soft spoken, kind, obliging
blessed be the peacemakers
and cursed be the used and abused
looking at myself I wonder
where I would be without you
I was a sleeping giant, tethered
by the needs and desires of others
a shadow woman behind my petal walls


afraid to grasp any small pleasure
not daring to wake to the sound
of my different drum, unselfish
unhappy, unfulfilled.... undone
it was you with your determination
your testosterone aggressiveness
that shook me out of a stupor
I am strong because you were strong


and though I do not use the weapon
of my sharp intellect and barbed tongue
until I am provoked to defend my rights
I do know now that I have rights
It was you who poured your steel
into my soul and wakened my power
it is you I walk the path of love with
two extremes becoming balanced equals

As I read this, it seemed to be biographical and a tribute to your love for his steadfast helping you get to where you are. But one line bothers me…

"… And cursed be the used and abused…"

Perhaps it is redeemed by the following line, but I don't think so.

Two very fortunate persons are depicted here. Hold tight. As Betty would say, "it's going to be a bumpy ride", but unlike the context of Betty's jab, you seem to ready to prove her wrong.

Love is what supports life and holds everything together. Your poetry brings it all to light.
