First and foremost, <br />I am a lady, <br />but I am so much more. <br /> <br />I am capable of great insight <br />and quiet wisdom, <br />undying devotion and love. <br />I am willing to give <br />more than receive <br />as long as it doesn’t <br />become habit and you <br />take and take <br />and never offer <br />anything in return. <br /> <br />I am a lady. <br />I am more than a receptacle, <br />a body to be viewed <br />and screwed at your leisure <br />with no thought <br />to what goes on <br />above my neck. <br /> <br />I’ll not be <br />your window dressing, <br />nor the bobble-headed doll <br />who nods in agreement with <br />everything you say and do. <br />I am a lady. <br /> <br />I’ve heard it said <br />that to kiss a man <br />when he wants <br />to be kissed <br />is like scratching a place <br />that doesn’t itch, <br />but I can guarantee you <br />that I’ll always have <br />an itch <br /> <br />… and not just for kisses, <br />but only if I am loved <br />and the love is shared <br />with respect, kindness, <br />honesty and faithfulness. <br />Rest assured, <br />it will all be returned <br />to you ten-fold, <br /> <br />because you see, <br />once the bedroom door <br />closes and the passion <br />rages in my blood, <br />I don’t have to be <br />a lady any more.<br /><br />C.J.
