Red Lake...

I stripped my gown

 When summer breeze

Kissed my face;

I came out from my hut

Half nude like a mischievous

Peeping hermit;

I heard the frightened

Whispers of the despoiled woodland,

I swam into the red lake of my desires;

My breasts emerged; Nipples erected

My blood drops diluted and  poured;

My crystal tears broken;

Then I knew, unknowingly

I became real women

Ready to accept men

To sleep and to give birth

To his own child……..
