"From Your Rib"

“From Your Rib”
By: Sugaree

I looked into his eyes
To see if he was in disguise
To my surprise
I witnessed a man and he was wise

He chose me
To be
His eyes to see
The great beauty
Of our world to be

He understood my fear
Of danger in men so near
He listened with an open ear
And gladly announced a new love was here

He ignored my resistance
Used his male persistence
Loved me from the distance
Until my heart listened

Love stricken contemplation
Sprinkled with idol temptation
Filled with gratitude and sensation
And marital emancipation

Upon my shoulders he laid
A love song so lovely and stayed
Like a dream so full and displayed
And heavenly love we made

Now I bare to this earth
A fleshly soul that is worth
This new life I gave birth
Sweet smelling; God’s turf
