I am a woman

I am a woman
in the race of this age.
I pant at the pace of dare devils
conjuring
wealth and technology.

I am a woman
in the chase for sexual redemption;
emotional realisation.
I twirl in the whirlwind
of women like dry leaves,
me - a soft fleshy stalk.

I am a woman
in the embrace of the creator’s
passion.
I roll on his palette
desperate for expression.

I am a woman
in search of the mystery of balance,
between the lure of sensuality,
the gift of creativity
and the power of success.
