"For Being a Woman"

[butterflydreaming]

This re-discovered poem is nearly a year old.



He would have kissed me, for being a woman
     had I not confused my days
A simple pleasure of physical touching
     a sensualist's goodbye
And had he kissed me, would I have minded?
I'm not, for such a small thing, shy.
     In friendship it would have been accepted,
or in interest, or in desire,
     Yet were it just "for being a woman"
The offer would have raised my ire.

And at first, I couldn't remember who it was about! True!

That was beautiful - your poetry is so lyrical. I love the way the words fall.
