Womanessence Supreme

An unassuming matriarch
I want to rarely disappoint
Strokes of wisdom and courage
such as it was art
Refrain from holding back from
all there is to muster
To her least complain
From the moment she cradled
me I trusted her name
Adequate degrees, serene
as a cello
Confident yet meager
Antebellum, pretty Cella

Most spoken in tender
eclectic phrases
Never broke a sweat when
She needed to raise us
Tear into my backside
Did it alone with not
a partner by her side
Once a man hurt me
She let me scream in her arms til
I recovered in affluent cries
Gossip was upon me
Covered them in her years of
discernment and soulful remedies
Resurrected the laughter of spirit with
civil love stories

Recollection where brave was
the black power sign
Siding with a panthers mind
Maintaining sheer female all the time
Shapely bell bottoms bellowed
custody of those not able to speak
She the queen of this mantra
My queen to be and of days
gone by
Author of my pride
Guided me through fetal canal from
the luster held inside
Woman
Woman of all seasons
Woman supreme

Could write this book
but then everybody would keep ridin
There'd be no stops
since it's me drivin
This woman get chu hooked
The mama everybody wants
and everybody done took
Rather if climbed to the highest
elevations
Still couldn’t reach that height
Not one that would compare to she
Woman intricately woven
A dove and a lioness in the
Deepest fiber of me
Woman
Woman for all reasons
Woman
Essence
Supreme

My Queen that be
