~Harem~

Her Name is a challenge
of many faces
the snicker of snogs
and various places

For Harem's a horde
of many women
veiled in the gauze
of fabric that's given

To hide the true meaning
of pain and contempt
to cover the shame
of the men that she's kept

You can't see her eyes
but she can see you
you can't tell her lies
cause she can see through

Your heart and your soul
and even your mind
She'll send you a tingle
that runs down your spine

You can't see her faces
but one at a time
in the haze of her music
in the words of her rhyme

She's hidden and holy
behind and below
the waif of the minstrels
in a troubadour show

She cries in the night
for the pain of the world
she shivers and writhes
when insults are hurled

at the lonely and poor
who don't speak a sound
she gathers them up
from off of the ground

But she's still a "Harem"
A handful combined
of various women
in diversified time

One is so crazy
the other is meek
when slapped in the face
she'll give you her cheek

One loves to dance
the other must swim
There's a mermaid just lurking
can't you see her fin?

One laughs and giggles
and flirts like a girl
caught in the tremors
of the whip and the whirl

of romance and intrigue
the lips of a man
dragging the tension
for as long as she can

One wants to fight you
The other gives in
One drinks straight vodka
and sips on pure gin

One is a baker,
a cook and a tease
One wants to dine out
and act like a sleaze

One wants to please you
and give a massage
One has an aura
that's just a mirage

When you reach out to touch her
she'll split into two
which one should you follow?
you'll wish that you knew

Enough of this "Harem"
she's too many ladies
and the only word left
that will rhyme - is called Rabies

You can easily see
that one of her is fine
but the one that wrote this
don't know how to rhyme.
