How We View Women: A Tanka

How we view women
We revere virginity
Sacred and profane
Beauty, yet also tainted
Our confusion is quite deep

How We View Women: A Tanka

How we view women
We revere virginity
Sacred and profane
Beauty, yet also tainted
Our confusion is quite deep

Do you love women, or just vaginas?

For so many men
The claim they love women
Means they’re fond of vaginas
And they miss so very much

Of what it means to
Connect with others and
Understanding love

For a vagina
Is only a small piece
Of what it means
To be woman

Thoughts on womenhood 

Drifting through blogs 

Reading words 

Burning from hearts 

Women defined solely

By shape, size, skin….

Always found wanting 

“Ugliness” a weapon 

Sharper than steel 

Wounds so deep

Blood flows into the soul 

Drowning from within
