Ode to Woman

Quest of life, Hallowed passage, deep embrace of paradise,
cosmic rite of time immortal, songbird in the morning night,
object of love's royal rage, nature's court and gifted sage.

Discover perfect empathy,
and warm by flame of Venus light,
from children, gods, and creatures small,
to worthy prince of passage rights.

Seeking brow of deeper thought, she swallows slowly suckled seeds,
starving giving Goddess vessel, greatest of her desperate needs.

Sliding waves and tender tips, kissing toads and tangled tongues,
singing cries of never end, parting more she beckons him,
surrounding her beloved monster, hiding gargoyles by her light,
veiling thrusted trunk with beauty, Heaven spared the retched sight.

Her taste selecting nature's vein, hears One among the stranded pleas,
from servants clinging to their chains, to masters on their begging knees.

Blinded by her creed to nurture, laughs at logic's selfish reason,
patient grand female obsession, by her giving grace goes man.

Conceives without a golden lure, her soul intent to harvest more
great seeds selected to her care, her choice of mind and face to bear.
