It remains to be seen...

by azurelady   Apr 17, 2008


A stronger spirit I have always been,
still patient and even feminine now and again.

A man's world is where my life has been spent,
all of these years just came, and then went.

In the world of men, I must show only strength, I have no choice but to work to that length.

Outside that world I desire to extend,
to the ties that bind, yet do not offend.

I long for passion and a firm hand to guide me,
yet at the same time to love and abide me.

I need that strength to control and provide me,
with the love and respect of he who stands beside me. That strength is required to look into his eyes and respond equally.

The challenge that resides is too complex to share,
yet at the same time not a heavy a burden to bear.

At times I am belligerent and steadfast, with the proper encouragement... these times do not last.

I often wonder if I'll ever succeed in finding myself a partner that truly knows how to lead.

I long for the sensuality that only true love and respect brings, all the while missing certain little things.

I understand someday there will be a break in that wall, yet still do not see where to find it all...

It remains to be seen....

    It's a good poem. The way you've expressed your feelings is simply very nice. Very genuine thoughts have flowed through this poem. I enjoyed the piece.

    But this poem needs to be edited. As few members already pointed out so there's nothing new to say on that point. All I can say if you edit this poem perfectly then it'd be a very good one. Well done! Keep on writing!

    1. "In the world of men, I must show only strength, I have no choice but to work to that length." i think you ment to make it two lines at strength but just made a lil' mistake.
    2. "I long for the sensuality that only true love and respect brings, all the while missing certain little things." should be made into 2 lines at brings
    3. "I understand someday there will be a break in that wall, yet still do not see where to find it all..." should be 2 lines at wall
    4. "I need that strength to control and provide me,
    with the love and respect of he who stands beside me. That strength is required to look into his eyes and respond equally." - this stanza broke the flow and threw me off a little. i dont have an easy fix for this one and am at a loss at how you could do a minor change to fix it.

    all in all i loved the meaning and feeling you put into this poem and give it a 4/5
