Bad Ass


 
A stare of comely crystal blue
floats above a ruby pout
she takes you in devouring
has her way, then casts you out

tongue tip teases top lip’s edge
like a supple paintbrush flowing
her smile will burn and hypnotize
it wraps around you knowing

beautiful eyes — worldly wise
sleek as steel — tall and strong
swift and cunning — motor running
she might acquiesce, but not for long

think this women might be meek
that would be a big mistake
treat her like you think she’s weak
she will make your small earth — quake

poor fool who seeks this goddess
is way out of their class
there’s only one word for this life-force
that word, my friend, is — bad ass!
