I Am SHE (for Women’s Day)
Poem by Butch Decatoria
I am she
Who compliments & completes The dream-lover and wishes Made when he is asleep.
Who suffers the most,
Giving birth, cradling ghosts,
As the crone or maid,
(Once and always)
Sister, mother, daughter, wife.
Who waits through the night.
Who equals the strength Of his light.
"See me with your loving eyes,
See me more than the tears I've cried!"
Who is willing
To go with him to war,
Not a man but as an equal,
(I'm both soft yet hard)
To whom he'll give his heart
I am the tunnel's bright end
I am where
The family starts,
The breast which nurse small men.
The twin,
The Juliet,
The Goddess divine!
Who deserves the same in life, and for all time.
(Peace be…)
I am you
I am her
I am the one besides
And inside
She is I…
The romance in the dress,
Patient Partner to the ends,
Tiny dancer on the floor
I am
The one that loves you Forever & Evermore.
