femme est une femme

love and life sex woman men inspired by hypatia

crying child 

you watch from the wings

crying child with eyes of amber

woman who don't cry should be banned

nothing more beautiful than a lady in tears

a woman is a woman

a gentleman is a man

This courting love ain't chivalrous

my armour cannot hide who I am

Its a borderline I've crossed

without that clear a thought

its a lucky day I did not want

though in vain was sought

a woman is a woman

a gentleman is a man

This courting love ain't chivalrous

my armour can't hide who I am

I concocted my own remedy

to clear away the dust

they dragged me out of town

with jeers and laughs and lust

the pottery and the mammary 

 sweat of haste and fear

The absolution of the sight 

skin so hard to carve

their face in  furry light

The player outwit the play

a dreadful clear insight

a woman is a woman

a gentleman is a man

this courtly love ain't chivalrous

my armour cant hide who i am

a wise look in hazed eyes

such a price for brief hope

lay as dead as the stag

so galant,tall and amber

bosom and  soul a camber

lying like the prize

belongs....to none.

crying child 

you watch from the wings

crying child...so quiet...

such wisdom in your company

woman who don't cry should be banned

nothing more beautiful than a person in tears

nothing more beautiful than you...

"the pottery and the mammary "
The line played so well. The sound and impact bounce and land with grace. I love how this poem portrays the feminine perspective, but it is not weak. It is fearful and resentful.

evocative poetic trellis of a woman's pulse~

[N/A]

This is wonderful poem and the use of the word ''aint'' in ''this courtly love ain't chivalrous'' brings almost bitter tone, and foresahdowing of her eventual demise. Also, fantastic beat.... Overall, wonderful piece Xx

I love it especially the 'woman don't cry should be banned' parts
