I Am Woman

Shameka Bush

Description

When woman removes all the definitions that the world uses to define her, everything from her job to her wardrobe; from her hair and nails to the job she keeps, or even the job roles and stereotypes of cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, tending to children, and paying bills, what is left? What does the bare, vulnerable, unadulterated woman look like? What does she need? What does she desire? What does she express? The pieces in this book are only small reflections of the larger picture. I, being one woman, can fathom only so many feelings and expressions that only when we collect the expressions of every woman on this earth, can we realize the full essence and beauty of woman. For now, let us begin the conversation inch by inch, poem by poem, woman by woman.

Who Am I To Say?



CHOOSE HER
She is imperfect and emotional.
She is unorthodox the least to say.
But since she’s the captain of this team,
Choose her anyway.

Friends come and go and come again.
Time after time, day by day.
But when it’s time to party hard,
Celebrate her anyway.

He may have hurt her heart terribly.
Seems like he can never stay.
But he does not define who she is inside,
So, love her anyway.

The world is filled with tricks and confusion,
Conspiring against her as if she’s prey.
One wrong move and it could be the end,
But trust her anyway.

You may not have the identity they prefer.
They may want you to hide your way.
They won’t accept who you are inside,
But show her anyway.

The woman who is in inside you,
Should never be compromised on any day.
So, show, trust, love, celebrate,
And choose her anyway.



LOVE BY SOUL
The night has falling in on us,
Like your body on top of mine.
And the road to all ecstasy,
is at the base of my spine.
Though the best feeling ever,
is at the horizon of our skin,
but we touch more than the physical,
but the soul that’s deep within.

A tie that can’t be unwound.
A bond that can’t be broken.
Joined together by the spirit,
A love left unspoken.

Who knows making love,
is more than what man have told?
True ecstasy is not just sex in bed,
but when you make love by soul.

The night has falling in on us,
like you inside my thighs,
and the road to all ecstasy,
is in the heart, soul, and mind,

The best feeling ever,
is at the horizon of our skin,
We not only touch the body,
but caress the soul deep within.



A WOMAN’S LIGHTNING
Do you know a woman’s lightning?
It flashes through the night sky.
She fills the atmosphere with her light.
She catches the heart and eye.

Make sure your eyes are open.
So, you can see her pastel blue and pink.
Because as fast as she comes, she goes.
You’ll miss her if you blink!

What a wonder to experience!
She’s a catch to every eye.
With grace and fashion eloquently,
She dances across the sky!

And if you are blessed enough,
to value her grace and all her wonder.
If you think her lightening is strength and beauty,
wait until you hear her thunder!



TODAY RATHER THAN...
Love waits for no one,
No moon or no sun,
More time we can never borrow,
Love today rather than tomorrow,

Rain-Shine and Sun-Dim,
Is the time I’d tarry for him,
but the great wait brings about sorrow,
Love today, who you can love tomorrow,

But what if the ‘morrow never comes?
And the feeling of love grows numb?
Then I can’t speak on what can never follow
Love today rather than...



I AM WORTH MORE!
The bottom line is,
I am worth MORE!
My value is the cost of Heaven.
A price you can’t pay with your soul.
A cost the world can’t afford!
I am worth MORE!
I am the sun, the rain, and the clouds.
I am the sky and the star.
So brilliant you must see afar!
I am worth MORE!
My worth is more precious,
than the most precious diamond in the earth.
A value that a jeweler cannot perceive.
He says, “It’s nothing I’ve seen before!”
A love so much to adore!
I am worth MORE!
What man on earth can begin,
to fathom me not sensually,
beyond potentially,
but beauty exponentially?

I am worth MORE!



THE HARDEST HILL TO CLIMB
The truth is it’s me.
The darkest truth is the one that’s blind.
I can heal once I’ve gain acceptance,
but acceptance is the hardest hill to climb.

God what did I do so wrong,
to deserve the fate of this ultimate bind?
I want rest. I want peace. I want joy,
but these come when I start to climb.

I could have made better decisions,
I could have used words of a different kind,
There was more I could’ve done on my end,
Start here is when you’ve started to climb.

I must rest the anger and screaming,
that goes on constantly in my mind.
When I’ve made peace with whoever or whatever,
Only then I’ll continue to climb.



HUMBLENESS
To be humble,
is a lost craft; a distant talent
Who knows his face anymore?
Who has seen him?
The most attractive man to ever exist,
have exited the eyes of people;
and the hearts of the world.
They walk around boastfully,
proud, arrogant, and with high pride;
as if they place the sun in the dawn,
and the moon in the dusk.
I see the dew from the eyes of him,
who calls out to the quiet soul.
The silent and graceful heart,
Who seeks the content and considerate spirit?
Do not feel sorrow for long.
For he who wallow in his own pride,
shall see the fall of it afterwards,
and its fashion is like a flower in the smoldering sun;
withering in the heat of the day;
from the shine he sat in the dawn;
and waxed cold in the glow of the dusk.
For the very few who marry humbleness shall see a great reward and will experience his perfect peace.



BUILT FOR VICTORY
Peering your eyes into my future.
Then looking back into my history.
You wonder how I made it this far.
Because I claim back my victory!

Not concerned about anyone else,
Don’t care about your heaven or hell,
Because of your own self misery,
You’re waiting on me to fail!

But fail, I SHALL NOT!!!
You’re NOT stepping up to a beginner.
Because GOD made me victorious,
Not just today, but born a WINNER!

I am welcomed with your lies,
Your fake smiles, I am greeted.
You tried to throw your stones and sticks,
But forgot I am UNDEFEATED!
