Hips, Lips Or Tips
The power inherent in a woman
Is not embedded in the lips
And the influence she wields over a man
Is not vested only upon her hips
A woman’s power lies
Not so much in the perfume or the costume
Of her gorgeous, elegant dresses
As much as it lies
In how honourable she addresses
And respects her man
As much as she possibly can
It isn’t about her just being gorgeous,
It’s much more about her not being outrageous
It isn’t just about looking
Sparklingly ravishing to the man,
It’s more about the joy she’s ever
willingly lavishing on the man
No, it isn’t so much about
her breathtaking appearance,
As it is much more about
Her noble undertaking and forbearance
It’s not her ability to charm
The man with her physical endowment,
Each and every moment,
But in her willingness not to harm,
The masculine pride of her man,
Thus, leaving him in a maze of emotional torment
A real woman’s worth is not so much displayed,
By her splendid dress sense,
As much as it is relayed,
By her vivid display of common sense
It’s not in her hair or walking style,
But much more in her flair and lifestyle
It’s not in her collection of costly cosmetics,
But in her sound recollection and dignifying ethics
Not so much in her beauty and glamour,
As it is in her ability to,
With a keen sense of humour,
Turn into a happy conversation,
Every event that tries to evolve into a clamour,
And to cause the other party
To become inflamed with the fuel of anger;
It’s in her ability to avoid disorganization,
And to prevent quarrels from lingering any longer;
Question is, can she be that powerful armour
Strong enough to ward off every potential paramour?
Does she possess the much needed skill
In approaching with maturity every matter,
And paying keen observation
And attention to details,
Making sound use of her grey matter;
Can she bring out of every obscurity,
Hidden strengths without pointing
accusing finger, when things go wrong;
How long does her rage linger,
When things go awry can she still be strong?
Is she aware of what being a virtuous woman entails?
Is her heart burning with passion,
And does she show true compassion?
The glory of a woman’s personality
Does not lie on her perfect hairdo
But in the exceptionality
Of the incredible things she can do
Her worth is not hinged upon the shape of her curves,
But it’s hinged more upon the problems she solves;
The questions obviously is not if she can look beautiful,
But if she can be meaningfully dutiful
It is not whether or not she can do proper cat-walking,
But whether she can make proper sense when she’s talking
Her power does not lie
In the size and erectness of her breast,
But in her ability to help her man maximize his life
And with the facts of his assignment keep abreast
Her nakedness does not have as much potency to keep a man under her sway
As much as her wickedness does in
driving the man away
Her sexy eyes can only keep a man glued for a while
But her lies can send him running away for a mile
Hips and lips do fade
But the impression made
By your sound, decent and moral attitude
Lasts longer than your ephemeral pulchritude
It isn’t about being the most seductive
It’s more about being the most productive
It’s not the hips or lips but the tips
That makes the difference
And makes you his point of reference.
