A Poem by andrew mitchell

Poetry in the female form
lies on paper exposed
to be painted
decorated with words
but the mind is flaccid
the pen motionless
the woman to be...
lies waiting.
Navigating the waves
of emotions stripped
the curves of desire
remain a skeleton verse.
where the enigmatic
poem dies in mysterious
circumstances
when the woman walks.
