i am a woman, a full woman, i am war, poem by ojijo

(Poem No. 170, extracted from  Fireplace Stories: Ojijo's Performance Poems.  Poem .2012. ISBN. 978-9966-123-17-6)


I am the dream that keeps you awake,
I am the water that wets your bed,
I am the wind that blows your thoughts,
I am the compass tht directs your imaginations,
I am a woman, a full woman, I am war,

I will ravage, ravish, and render you sleepless,
I will wreck, and ruin your emotions,
I will break down your walls and open you to new
experiences,
I will spoil, and destroy your inhibitions,
I am a woman, a full woman, I am war,

to you, I am an imagination, realised,
to you, I am a wish, come true,
to you, I am a dream, in real time,
I am a woman, a full woman, to you, I am war,

you yearned for me, I am here now,
you fancied me, I am yours now,
you visualized me, I am in your life now,
I will take you to places you have only heard stories about,
I am a woman, a full woman, I am war,

prepare for a nightmare of pleasure,
be ready fro hallicanation of fantansy,
open yourself to frightening sweetness,
organise your bedroom, because I am coming to disorganize
your bed sheets,
I am a woman, a full woman, I am war!

you will hug me close, and I will take your breadth away,
I will hold you tight, and you will loose control,
I will make love to me, and I you will cry,
inside  me, you will
lose yourself!


I am a woman, a full woman, I am war!
