Control the Femininity
The comfort of silk
And lingering dreams
Is the essence of me
The light from the world
Streaming through the drapery
As society’s earnest calling
The shift disguises
The skin underneath
Shadowing individuality
The lace encircled corset
Sheaths the sword of splendor
To constrain and mold what is seen
The lattice of cloth I stride into
Prickles on my waxed legs
To hide my feminine physique
The wrappings of fabric
That detains the image
Of the slightest visibility
The white residue
The overwhelms my face
Hides my complexity
Coal on my eyes
Seducing the man
That ignores the raging sea
Long lochs of amber
Pulled tight above the neck
Steals the bond to nature
My lips are cast in red
To pucker and move accordingly
And hold my biased speech
The slippers that sparkle
And blister the same
Leave the treads that men never see
