So gentle the touch so softly the kiss
So wonderful the form and the poise
Such beauty prevailing in every movement
Elegance and intrigue, fascinating desire
Perfection in content, exceptionally bright

Often treated disrespectfully, often used and abused
Trying hard to remind the world they own half
Displaying a confidence, for so long suppressed
Deserved reverence for all their toil
Adding joy and color to daily insipidness

Perhaps wondrous, perhaps problematic
Opinionated in an odd way, thinking obtusely from the opposite sex
Moody when happy, delirious when sad
Uncontrollable, misunderstood, but so loveable
Women, unmistakably feminine.
