I must be the centre of attention <br />And reaffirm my desirability. <br />I must feel validated as a woman <br />And re-experience the romance of love. <br />Let be burnt the ennui of monogamy. <br />Let come again the sexual excitement <br />That I went through at my first night. <br />Need not the man in focus be a prince, <br />An emperor nor a millionaire. <br />Let him be the one I want to be with, <br />In accordance with my safety, <br />Proximity and convenience. <br />Just for a ‘love you leave you alliance.’ <br />Yes, I must waste no time to test my worth <br />And remain faithful with my husband. <br /> <br />26.02.2008<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-woman-forty-plus-aspires/
