The Seed stealers

  They come in darkened placesBeguiling with their laughterTeasing with bodies and faces.Open with their liesOpen with their thighs.Forever hungryFor the fecund maleRipe and full of promiseAnd in the light of dawnThey are gone.Shadows of their search They say it is a mans worldBut what woman can createWithout ‘his seed’She keeps her seed within herselfNever letting  goBut he must sowAnd take the chanceOf having chosen wellIn the‘sweet natured’Female courtship dance

Thanks Ziggy

Got wrongly accused of being one once and it gave me a different perspective on how men might feel about it. Thanks for taking the time to comment Seabhac

Dear Elizabeth,

Not a pronoun on the horizon! Congradulations. Not that pronouns are banned but you are succeeding in deciding, as opposed to allowing habit, to using them. And its edgy. Edgy is gooood. "Its dancing time!" as Anna might say. I am impressed. Brian

What seeds of growth you have sown

Hi Brian, I always know it is you as the only other person that called me Elizabeth was my mother...funny but true. Yes the truth is you have helped so much by taking the time to direct me from the beginning. Dancing time truly...belly dancing or a two hand reel? I do a jig here on Neo quite often it's that good. Thanks Brian I really do appreciate it.

Aiii. A female courtship

Aiii. A female courtship dance? Sweet natured? Can you say sperm bank? ~A "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

Wow, great poem Seabhac:

I was wondering what my friends were writing, and there it was!, several great poems for me to read at leisure, without the presure to write another one. I like your poem very much; yea, you women risk your entire lives in your choosing, isn't it? That's why I think women are more blessed than men in many other areas, such as the spiritual, for example. Sincerely, Hugo

Missed you Hugo

You have become a good friend here on Neo. Hugo and I have missed your presence and your poetry but it is lovely to see you back. You took a different slant on this that I hadn't thought of ...lovely. It broadens my concept of male understanding and I am sure I would be the first of many to say , your spirituality has shone like a beacon through your poetry( You must be in touch with your feminine side...ha ha ) Kind Wishes Seabhac

Fantastic poem, excellent

Fantastic poem, excellent perspective. Sexual politics are often overwhelming and cliched, yet you open eyes to alternate, equally weightly disparities. Thanks! Made me reconsider and rejudge certain situations!

Thanks Esmerelda

We are often puppets of our own strings without even realising it. A suitation can be many things depending on your view point...we can't change the world but we can change how we percieve it. Seabhac
