The Beautiful Woman

This poem is taken from my book Walk with Beauty, Timeless Footsteps. Soon to be published on Shobana Gomes' Bookstore.



I know that I am a wonder to you,

Hailing from someplace unknown,

I stand on beaches that seas rush to,

With sand on my feet to show.


O hail the sky,

That measures up to me,

And treats me as the beautiful one,

A woman am I,

Distrusting you see,

Of the camouflage that you set at dusk.


I stand with colors all pink in shade,

And somewhere between it see red,

The reflection I create,

With the dusk and the grey,

I am the beautiful one instead. 

I stand all alone watched by the sun's glow,

And I dance to the tune of a seaside lullaby,

I trip and I fall and see the world so small,

In my fingertips, I grip it all.


So, dance a lullaby and see how I try,

To create a beautiful slide,

Of the picture of me,

And that would be,

A beautiful woman at sundown.


Happy International Women's Day to all the women on the planet. Indeed, women have stood side by side with men to build monuments of stone.
