Every day they pass each other on the trail, my exercise trail for health, for balance
Each of them with some regrets that I could feel
One to worship & sad that all her expectations have not been met and what she thinks the other has, she lacks
The other to catch some sleep & sad that what the other truly has, she does not
I see them both every morning & I laugh & I wish I could speak, but…

She walks out at the crack of dawn
At the hint of twilight
Clutching her purse
At times he strides out with her
At other times, she appears a solitary figure walking down the trail
When you get close she smells of the best perfumes ever
When you meet her up
She lifts her head to give an appearance of pride
But she is destitute
Oh, woman do not envy her, she envies you
She looks up at you and wishes she were you
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Who says she does not want to sleep over
Who says she abhors cuddling in the early morning hours
Who says she does not want to lose those human hair that has been hanging on her for ages
Though you think she is free, she lives in bondage, she roams
She wishes she has a home to call her own
She wants to be free like you
She longs for all the aborts
Mornings, as she leaves the warm embrace of the men
She sheds a tear and hopes that someday she will have her own man
She weeps when she’s at it not for joy but sorrow
And wishes to be like you
She’s the slave and you are the free woman
Oh dear woman do not take for granted what you have got
Do not take for granted that he loved you enough to ask you to be his wife
Rejoice and enjoy your home

You think she likes being a Dealer?
Coated all year round with fine paintings, powdered
She wants to get off all of that
She sometimes wants to bath. Wash off
She wishes to sleep all day in carefree, knowing that her man will return to her
Not need to look for a different embrace but to be embraced by the one she loves and who loves her dearly
She weeps even when she sleeps
Who to blame?
Everyone but She.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh dear woman do not jeopardize your home
Do not envy her, she envies you
She looks up at you and wishes she were you
Rejoice and enjoy your home
