Love Poem: Amazon Woman

Amazon Woman



Woman warrior invader
of my carefree, waking dreams
Smiting my heart with your charm arrows,
conquering my will so easily
You move stealthily with the grace of a leopard
in the daytime,
and growl, then pounce at night with panther ferocity
Amazon woman, 
I didn’t know whether 
you were gon be the life or death of me
I was the first to see your war ship coming
Emerging out of the thunderstorm,
raging upon the boisterous sea
As soon as your ship touched shore,
the calm came
You stepped from your war vessel,
onto the white sands,
dressed in full Valkyrian regalia
And I approached your deadly personage
bravely on deferential bent knees
With a raised sword, you spared my life ...
for you admired the courage displayed by me
A peaceful chieftain who was willing to sacrifice his own life,
in exchange for the life of his people,
without any blood being shed
Such an act of selfless bravery brought out 
the smouldering compassion buried deep
in the heart of this Amazon warrior woman
And she sheathed her glittering sword
for the sake of sparing me

Warrior woman,
Amazon queen
When you raise your sword,
men fall to their knees
Fierce warrior female,
Jungle born queen
When you swing your sword,
men fall down dead at your feet
Warrior woman,
Amazon queen
When you raise your sword,
men do as you please
Fierce warrior female,
Jungle born queen
When you lowered your sword,
you fell in love with me

Woman warrior interloper
of my carefree, waking dreams
Striking my heart with your harp bent bow,
you captured my love so easily
Now the tiger and the lion,
dwellers of the rainforest, 
live together harmoniously in peace
