A Womans Life Only a Woman Knows

A Womans Life Only a Woman Knows, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

from cradle to grave
her pain does not go
every step a new
pain grows
a woman's life
only a woman knows
every breath
her death throes
but she hides her pain
convincingly
nothing shows
from one end of a river
into an ocean she flows
thrown miles away
when the wind blows
this was a picture
with a poem
i froze
the head of a woman
balancing a rose
