Woman

Woman
The glow
around your face
when you see
the lightning race
i know
i'm very near
and i can hear
the thunder
a woman
of perplexity
a woman
for eternity
a woman
of the land
a woman
for a man
i'm down
on my knees
and i'm saying
please believe me
it's hard
to fall out
of love
completely
it's harder
to find a way
to come back
discreetly
to speak
of things anew
to weep
in quiet blue
brocade
upon your bed
memories should fade
at least of you
a sceptre
of ice and fire
a spectre
of my desire
a girl-child
of such loveliness
the woman
of my emptiness
a woman
of famed renown
a woman
who kicks the clown
a woman
of the land
a woman
for a man
