Sweet and Bittersweet
I try to be a woman of substance
embracing my imperfection
withdrawn and devoid of arrogance
with means of simple expression
attentive to the voice of love within
integrity running beneath my skin
heart palpitations bubbling to the surface
all it takes is a warm and lingering embrace
to release daydreams subtle and sweet
and even accept the outcome bittersweet
